Gigantic batteries like those offered by Tesla, ABB and newcomers like Northvolt can help grid operators move extra capacity between states and ensure that power from intermittent, renewable energy sources including solar and wind can be stored and used when needed.
Projects like Neoen s Victorian Big Battery, and systems like Tesla Megapacks within it, can also ensure power is available even when there are unplanned outages in a transmission network.
In a recent earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk talked up his company s growing energy storage business claiming there is demand for more than 1 million of Tesla s home Powerwall batteries, and a vast amount of Megapacks for utilities. Tesla energy generation and storage revenue during the second quarter of 2021 reached $801 million, with cost of revenue for this division hitting $781 million for the quarter.
