Australia: Elon Musk's company battery has helped save more than $ 40 million in energy

Neoen, which owns the gigantic battery that Tesla installed in Australia, has released a report showing that the facility helped save about $ 40 million in energy. This is the largest lithium ion battery system in the world.
The facility was built after Tesla won a public tender in Australia. According to the company, the system serves to "solve power grid faults, to reduce intermittency and to manage peak loads during the summer." It should also be noted that this system helps provide electricity to more than 30,000 Australian causes.
The system cost about $ 66 million to the Australian government, but savings seem to be making the investment pay.

It is recalled that this solution was put on the table after the state of Southern Australia faced a blackout of several days. At the time, Musk launched the challenge: "either Tesla solves, within 100 days, the energy problems that the state has encountered, or the company ensures the installation of a system of energy storage for free".
