SPIE and Tesla formalize European battery storage partnership

Engineering firm SPIE and Tesla have signed a three-year agreement to expand their collaboration on battery energy storage systems across Europe. The deal covers ongoing projects including a major 1.4 GWh facility in the Netherlands. It aims to streamline deployments using Tesla's Megapack technology without setting volume targets.

Pan-European company SPIE, headquartered in France, announced on December 15, 2025, a framework agreement with Tesla to build on their existing partnership in battery energy storage systems (BESS). The three-year deal, with an option to renew, applies to all SPIE subsidiaries in Europe and defines the legal and operational conditions for deploying Tesla's Megapack technology.

Key projects under this collaboration include the 1.4 GWh Mufasa BESS in the Netherlands, valued at $366 million, which will feature 372 Tesla Megapacks and become the largest such facility in the country. SPIE is overseeing engineering and execution for this initiative.

In France, the partners are working on a 100 MW/200 MWh BESS project, where construction began in September 2025. Commissioning is scheduled for the end of 2026, including the building of a 90 kV substation for grid connection.

A third project in Belgium involves a 50 MW/200 MWh BESS utilizing 53 Tesla Megapacks.

The agreement facilitates international coordination, reduces contract negotiation times, and promotes scaling of deployments, according to SPIE. It reflects confidence in SPIE's technical skills and pan-European organization, the company stated. SPIE provides end-to-end services, including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) as well as balance of plant (BoP), positioning it as a key player in Europe's energy transition.

Tesla's Megapacks are used globally in BESS projects, with the latest generation unveiled in September 2025 at RE+ in Las Vegas. This partnership underscores efforts to integrate renewables and enhance grid stability through intelligent storage solutions.

Tesla has secured a $275 million order for its Megapack battery systems from Matrix Renewables to build a 500 MW/1 GWh energy storage facility in Eccles, Scotland. This marks Matrix's first standalone battery project in the UK and aims to enhance grid flexibility and renewable energy integration. The deal underscores growing demand for large-scale storage solutions amid the UK's clean energy transition.

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.

Following the recently announced three-year framework agreement with SPIE for Megapack deployments across Europe (see prior coverage), Tesla is advancing its grid storage ambitions. This partnership supports network stability and renewable integration, helping diversify from EVs amid market pressures.

Tesla has launched a new $500 million Megapack battery energy storage system in California. The facility can provide clean energy equivalent to the annual usage of roughly 467,000 homes. It incorporates AI-driven grid management for optimized energy distribution.

Akaysha Energy has activated its 205 MW/410 MWh Brendale Battery Energy Storage System in Queensland, Australia, nearly five months ahead of schedule. The facility, powered by Tesla Megapack 2 technology, connects to Brisbane's South Pine substation and supports the region's energy needs ahead of the 2032 Summer Olympics. It provides energy arbitrage, frequency control services, and enhanced grid stability through grid-forming capabilities.

During Tesla's latest earnings call, CEO Elon Musk issued a passionate plea for other companies to invest in domestic battery production to mitigate geopolitical risks. He highlighted Tesla's own costly efforts in Texas as a necessary but burdensome step amid fragile global supply chains. Musk warned that firms ignoring these vulnerabilities could face existential threats.

Tesla reported its first annual revenue decline in 2025, down 3% to $94.8 billion amid EV weakness, but its energy storage business hit a record 46.7 GWh deployments, driving 26.6% revenue growth to $12.8 billion with 29.8% margins. The segment's success highlighted a strategic pivot to AI, robotics, and energy, though 2026 faces margin pressures from competition and policy shifts. Shares rose 3% after hours.
