Elon Musk says his Tesla battery company could solve South Australia’s energy crisis
"Tesla will get the system installed and working 100 days from contract signature or it is free. That serious enough for you?"
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-1...y-woes/8344084 Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has joined the throng of entrepreneurs pitching potential solutions to South Australia's power woes. But the boss of Tesla and Space X has made an intriguing pitch — declaring his company could install a battery farm capable of "fixing" the system within 100 days, or else do it for free. South Australia suffered a statewide blackout last September, while during a recent heatwave customers were intentionally blacked out because there was not enough power to meet demand. Mr Musk backed up a suggestion by his vice president for energy products, Lyndon Reve, that they could help prevent increasingly regular blackouts in South Australia. "Storage can solve the immediate problem within the next 100 days," he told ABC News. Tesla has been spruiking its Powerwall 2 and Powerpack 2 battery products in Australia this week. Mr Reve said Tesla had recently completed a similar challenge in California after a methane leakage at a gas peaking plant. "From start to finish, we installed an 80MWh battery pack at one of the substations in Southern California," he said. "We can do the exact same thing in South Australia. Storage is the technology, and it can solve the problem within the next 100 days or so." I welcome this move – as it will lead to cheaper storage batteries for domestic use. More importantly - will this prove to the world that there is a better way than coal?
