“#Tesla building huge battery linked to Texas power grid: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Tesla is building a giant battery that will be plugged into the Texas power grid that got devastated by last month\u2019s winter storm, a new report says.<\/p>\n

A subsidiary of the electric-car maker called Gambit Energy Storage is quietly working on the massive facility in Angleton, Texas, a small city about 40 miles outside Houston, according to Bloomberg News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With more than 100 megawatts of capacity, the battery can deliver enough juice to power some 20,000 homes even in the summer heat, the outlet reported Monday.<\/p>\n

The project app<\/a>ears to be part of Tesla\u2019s energy business, which Musk has said will eventually be \u201cwill be roughly the same size\u201d as its primary electric-car business.<\/p>\n

Tesla is apparently trying to keep the work under wraps \u2014\u00a0equipment at the site is covered by white sheets and a worker told visiting photographer that the project was \u201csecretive,\u201d Bloomberg says.<\/p>\n

But the energy-storage system is reportedly registered with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the nonprofit that oversees a power grid serving more than 26 million customers. Tesla CEO Elon Musk slammed the group known as ERCOT after the February cold snap caused widespread blackouts, saying it was \u201cnot earning that R.\u201d<\/p>\n

ERCOT executive Warren Lasher told Bloomberg that Tesla\u2019s battery had a \u201cproposed commercial operation date\u201d of June 1, though details of its capability and duration are still unclear.<\/p>\n

Batteries like these are often used to store electricity produced by wind and solar energy, but their owners can sell power back to the local grid when prices are high, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

Tesla has already plugged battery packs into a Southern California Edison substation near Los Angeles and used them to support the grid during peak hours, the outlet reported. The Silicon Valley company is also reportedly building a battery system in the San Francisco Bay Area.<\/p>\n

Tesla did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment Tuesday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
