Tesla is expanding its energy storage operations with a third Megapack factory set to open near Houston in late 2026. The facility will produce the new Megapack 3/Megablock product at an annual capacity of 50 GWh, underscoring the company's focus on AI-driven grid solutions amid surging renewable energy demands.
Tesla's Shanghai Megafactory has achieved a significant milestone by producing over 2,000 Megapack energy storage systems in its first full year of operation. The facility, which began production in early 2025, doubled its output in the final five months of the year. This ramp-up underscores Tesla Energy's expanding role in global energy storage.

Swedish labor unions are evaluating whether to file a police report concerning a new Tesla Megapack Supercharger near Stockholm, questioning its electricity supply method. The site, powered by an on-site battery, has been referred to Sweden's energy regulator amid ongoing union disputes with Tesla. Unions accuse a local company of helping Tesla bypass conflict measures.
France-based engineering firm SPIE has signed a three-year framework agreement with Tesla to standardize deployment of Megapack battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Europe, building on projects in the Netherlands, France, and Belgium, and expanding into Poland and Germany. Highlights include the $366 million, 1.4 GWh Mufasa facility in the Netherlands.
