Introducing Megapack: Utility-Scale 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.
