Tesla Secures Massive $2.7 Billion Order for Megapacks

Tesla has landed yet another massive Megapack order — this time from Georgia Power. The utility company has submitted a plan to deploy over 3 GW (3,022 MW) of Tesla’s grid-scale battery storage systems across 10 BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) facilities on eight sites throughout Georgia. The proposed $2.7 billion USD deal is pending approval from the state’s Public Service Commission (PSC), but approval is considered highly likely.

The installations will use Tesla’s 4-hour duration Megapack units, which would be capable of powering more than 2 million homes for four hours — a substantial addition to Georgia’s energy infrastructure as the state preps for rising winter electricity demand between 2029 and 2031.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the largest planned sites:

• Plant Yates (Coweta County): 570 MW across two BESS units
• Plant Bowen (Bartow County): 500 MW
• Plant Wansley (Heard County): 500 MW
• Thomson (McDuffie County): 500 MW
• Wadley: 260 MW BESS paired with solar
• Plus several other hybrid solar-battery sites across the state

Tesla’s Megapack systems have rapidly become the go-to solution for utility-scale energy storage worldwide. From California and Hawaii to Japan, Australia, China, and Europe, Megapacks are helping stabilize grids and enable greater renewable energy adoption. Tesla last week celebrated its 1,000th Megapack produced at the Shanghai Megafactory, following the 10,000th unit milestone at its Lathrop, California, plant last year.

In addition, Tesla recently signed a $4.3 billion USD deal with LG Energy Solution for U.S.-made LFP batteries — reportedly for use in energy storage products like Megapack. With demand for grid-scale storage only expected to rise, Tesla’s Megapack business is charging full steam ahead.
