"Tesla Is Hooking Up 50,000 Australian Homes to Become World's Biggest Virtual Power Plant Environment 05 February 2018 ByMichelle Starr Tesla is hooking up 50,000 Australian homes to become world's biggest virtual power plant Solar panels in South Australia (amophoto_au/Shutterstock) Elon Musk's company, Tesla, is working with the South Australian government to turn 50,000 homes into what they're calling a "virtual power plant". Each home in the project will be equipped with a 5kW solar panel system and a 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall 2, at no cost to the resident and funded entirely by the sale of excess electricity. These houses will become an interconnected power plant network. Musk has already made quite an impact on the state after he installed the world's largest lithium ion battery there last year. The installation came in the wake of serious blackouts in September and December of 2016 - one of which knocked the entire state offline. At 100 megawatts when fully charged, the Tesla P"

"Tesla has called for bids for its ground-breaking virtual power plant in South Australia – a network of about 7,000 household batteries that can serve the world’s most advanced renewables grid by helping it meet demand peaks and also by providing some essential system services. The Tesla VPP – like the big battery that was built at Hornsdale in South Australia – was a landmark project, the first of its type in Australia and, Tesla insists, still the biggest in the country, despite the competing claims of big retailers such as AGL and Origin Energy that are relying on the concept to underpin their future business models. A sales flyer sent out to prospective buyers – possibly those same big utilities or other companies that specialise in retail products and embedded networks – says the VPP has 35 megawatts of capacity, and most of it (70 per cent) is paired with rooftop solar (25 MW). All of the systems are installed in public housing, as part of a deal with the state government. Te"
