Leave it to Elon Musk to inspire. He is not only creating the world’s largest battery, he is also promised to finish installing it in 100 days or give it away for free. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced during an event at Jamestown in South Australia that the making of world’s biggest battery is half-way done.
The battery with a capacity of 100MW/129MWh utility-grade is in the process of installation near the site of the 100MW Hornsdale Wind Farm. The battery will give continuous electric supply during power cuts.
Replying to an Australian software-billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, CEO Musk took to Twitter and wrote: “Tesla will get the system installed and working 100 days from contract signature or it is free. That serious enough for you?” I
n March, Cannon-Brookes asked Musk if comments made by Lyndon Rive, Tesla’s vice-president for energy products, were accurate. Rive had claimed that the company could install between 100 to 300 megawatt-hours of battery storage within 100 days, as per inverse.com. If the company misses the deadline it will incur losses of about $50 mn.
