Tesla gives up crown for world’s biggest battery |
Tesla has officially relinquished its crown for having the world’s biggest battery. The Gateway Energy Storage project, operated by grid infrastructure developer LS Power, holds the title now with a storage capacity of just over 230 megawatts in commercial operation. Still, it is expected to rise to 250 MW by the end of August.
This capacity supersedes the previous record holder, which was the Tesla-operated Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia, that is capable of storing 150 MW/193.5 MWh.
The Gateway Energy Project was launched and connected to the grid by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) in June, adding 62.5 MW of storage interconnection to the grid. With that capacity alone, the Gateway project was already the largest in the United States but was relatively small compared to the Hornsdale Power Reserve.
According to an August 19 press release from LS Power, the project is located in the East Otay Mesa community in San Diego County, California.
