Elon Musk’s Brave Bet To Fix Australia’s Energy Crisis
Elon Musk’s Brave Bet To Fix Australia’s Energy Crisis
OEF Rapid Review Articles
Elon Musk has promised to install and get working a Tesla Inc.
battery storage system designed to prevent blackouts in South Australia, the Australian
mainland state most reliant on renewable energy.
The promise injected Musk into the middle of a messy political spat in Australia over energy policy.
Solar and
wind account for about 40 percent of South Australia’s power generation, the highest of any mainland state.
Due to their intermittent power flows, companies
like Tesla argue battery technology can help store and ultimately manage when electricity is provided.
