Elon Musk's outback Tesla battery sparks new projects after promising run
A year after Elon Musk rolled out what was then the world's biggest lithium-ion battery to aid South Australia's blackout-prone power grid, more projects are set to follow in its footsteps at home and abroad.
The Hornsdale storage facility - the result of Musk's successful wager that he could build and get it up and running within 100 days - has helped the state stabilise the grid, avoid outages and lower costs. Its success is a boost to other plants commissioned around the world, including a larger one in South Korea.
