Tesla has secured a $170 million order to supply 168 Megapack units for a 150 MW/600 MWh battery energy storage system at TagEnergy's Golden Plains Wind Farm in Victoria, Australia. The project will pair the southern hemisphere's largest wind farm with onsite storage to enhance grid reliability. Construction is set to begin early next year, with completion expected in mid-2027.
The average wholesale electricity price will be 0.18 euros per MWh this Sunday, the lowest level of the year and one of the lowest in history, according to the Operador del Mercado Ibérico de Energía (OMIE). This marks a 94% drop from Saturday's 3.03 euros average. Ten hourly periods will see negative prices.
