Tesla’s move towards energy storage has proven fruitful already for the company, as evidenced in part by a new project involving its energy storage systems.
Arevon has signed a contract for the acquisition of two GW/6GWh-supplying Tesla Megapacks, set to deploy in California and Nevada by the end of 2021, according to a press release. The overseeing of construction and operation from Arevon is set to offer 250 MW and 1,000 MWh of battery energy storage from constructed sites with the use of the Megapacks.
Justin Johnson, Arevon’s chief operating officer, said, “Arevon is at the forefront of powering the energy transition through solar and storage resources. We are pleased to be working with Tesla, securing a quality product that is in high demand.” Johnson continued, “This agreement ensures that Arevon can deliver near-term storage solutions to our customers, mitigating the risk of supply shortages and project delays.”

The Megapacks will support the portfolio being built out by Falcon, a joint venture between Arevon and energy company Tenaska. The goal of the Falcon joint venture is to construct and develop standalone energy storage facilities over the course of the next years – bolstering grids in California and Nevada.
Last week, Tesla officially broke ground on a Lathrop, California Megafactory, expected to support the company’s next-generation Megapack production as it deploys the technology throughout the world.
