A Tesla-powered battery energy storage system has begun commercial operations in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan. The 50 MW/104 MWh Helios project, developed by Manoa Energy, uses Tesla's Megapack 2XL batteries to support Japan's grid. It operates as a merchant asset in wholesale, balancing, and capacity markets.
A 600 MW battery energy storage system powered by 444 Tesla Megapacks has gone online in Victoria, Australia, marking the largest completed project on the country's main grid. The Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub in Plumpton will store excess solar and wind energy for evening peaks, powering up to 200,000 homes. Developed by the State Electricity Commission and Equis Australia, it enhances grid stability amid the shift to renewables.
