The future of renewable energy relies on large-scale energy storage. Megapack is a powerful battery that provides energy storage and support, helping to stabilize the grid and prevent outages. By strengthening our sustainable energy infrastructure, we can create a cleaner grid that protects our communities and the environment.
To match global demand for massive battery storage projects like Hornsdale, Tesla designed and engineered a new battery product specifically for utility-scale projects: Megapack. Megapack significantly reduces the complexity of large-scale battery storage and provides an easy installation and connection process.

Our grid-scale batteries and software controls store and dispatch this energy, creating a more stable and sustainable grid. We can lower lifecycle costs and deliver reliable energy for utilities and developers alike by combining hardware, software, installation and service into one integrated system. Overview: Built for Scale. 10x.
After Tesla’s worldwide success with Powerpack battery grid installations, the company has now designed and engineered a new battery product called the Megapack made specifically for utility-scale projects. This larger battery pack has a 60% increase in energy density over the current Powerpack and boasts up to 3 megawatt hours (MWhs) of storage capacity per pack as a result. Megapacks also come completely assembled from Tesla’s factory for quick installation, altogether providing customers with savings in both cost and time.
Battery storage grids are important in the global energy grid’s transition to sustainable energy sources, and the Megapack’s massive capacity and scalability will make it an ideal choice for regions looking for a simple and cost-efficient ways to convert or support their current infrastructure. “Using Megapack, Tesla can deploy an emissions-free 250 MW, 1 GWh power plant in less than three months on a three-acre footprint – four times faster than a traditional fossil fuel power plant of that size,” Tesla stated in their announcement.
Along with an AC interface, the Megapack also includes DC-connectivity for solar grids, essentially giving it plug ‘n play capability for any type of power grid interface. Tesla’s Megapack product page further describes its “All-in-One-System” design:
“Every Megapack arrives pre-assembled and pre-tested in one enclosure from our Gigafactory—including battery modules, bi-directional inverters, a thermal management system, an AC main breaker and controls. No assembly is required, all you need to do is connect Megapack''s AC output to your site wiring,” Tesla detailed.
Tesla’s latest product is also very competitive compared to other utility power storage options available on the market. Thanks to its high-density energy storage capacity and modularity, the Megapack needs 40% less space and 10x fewer parts than comparable systems, according to data published on Tesla’s product page. This will bode well for areas with space constraints or simply desiring a smaller footprint for energy storage.
Less than two years ago, Tesla built and installed the world''s largest lithium-ion battery in Hornsdale, South Australia, using Tesla Powerpack batteries. Since then, the facility saved nearly $40 million in its first year alone and helped to stabilize and balance the region''s unreliable grid.
Battery storage is transforming the global electric grid and is an increasingly important element of the world''s transition to sustainable energy. To match global demand for massive battery storage projects like Hornsdale, Tesla designed and engineered a new battery product specifically for utility-scale projects: Megapack.
For utility-size installations like the upcoming Moss Landing project in California with PG&E, Megapack will act as a sustainable alternative to natural gas "peaker" power plants. Peaker power plants fire up whenever the local utility grid can''t provide enough power to meet peak demand. They cost millions of dollars per day to operate and are some of the least efficient and dirtiest plants on the grid. Instead, a Megapack installation can use stored excess solar or wind energy to support the grid''s peak loads.
As the world''s transition to sustainable energy continues to accelerate, the market for advanced battery storage solutions is growing rapidly. In the past year alone, we have installed more than 1 GWh of global storage capacity with our current storage products, Powerwall and Powerpack, bringing our total global footprint to more than 2 GWh of cumulative storage. With Megapack, this number will continue to accelerate exponentially in the coming years.

A new battery energy storage system (BESS) at an electric substation in California is expected to be one of the world’s largest utility-owned, lithium-ion storage systems when it begins operating next year.
The 182.5-MW BESS is being built by Tesla and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) at the utility’s substation in Moss Landing in Monterey County. The two companies are working together on the design and construction of the system, and will jointly maintain it. PG&E on July 29 said ground has been broken for the system, which it said it expects to energize early next year. The BESS is expected to be placed into full operation in the second quarter of 2021.
PG&E on Wednesday said it forecasts the Moss Landing BESS will save more than $100 million over the 20-year life of the project, when measured against the forecast of local capacity requirements and associated procurement costs that would have been necessary without the BESS.
Tesla’s Megapack is designed specifically for utility-scale energy storage projects. The Megapack builds on the success of the company’s Powerpack, the world’s largest lithium-ion battery when it was installed at Neoen’s Hornsdale Wind Farm in South Australia in 2017. The wind farm was a POWER Top Plant in 2018.
