Tesla's Shanghai Energy Storage Gigafactory receives construction permit and will achieve mass production in the first quarter of next year

News from this site on May 13, this site learned from the "Shanghai Lingang" WeChat public account that the Tesla Shanghai Energy Storage Super Factory construction project has completed the issuance of the construction permit. This is Tesla's first energy storage super factory outside the United States. The factory is scheduled to start construction in May this year and achieve mass production in the first quarter of next year.

Let me introduce the project. The project covers a total area of ​​about 200,000 square meters and has a total investment of about 1.45 billion yuan. It was confirmed in December last year. After receiving the investment intention, we began to use the newly launched project service package in the engineering construction field of Lingang New Area.

The project initially plans to produce 10,000 commercial energy storage battery Megapack units annually, with an energy storage capacity of nearly 40GWh. According to data from the Advanced Industrial Research Institute (GGII), China's energy storage lithium battery shipments in 2022 will be 130 GWh, which means that the production capacity of Tesla's super energy storage factory is equivalent to China's energy storage lithium battery shipments in 2022 one-third of the amount.

According to data, more than 200 Megapacks can form an energy storage power plant and store 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity. According to this site, Megapack, Tesla’s star energy storage product, is based on integrated system integration and modular design and has excellent energy storage and distribution capabilities. It can help grid operators, utility companies, etc. use renewable energy more efficiently, and is of great significance to promoting the development of green energy.

Data from the National Energy Administration shows that as of the end of 2023, the cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects that have been completed and put into operation across the country is 31.39 million kilowatts / 66.87 million kilowatt hours, and the average energy storage time is 2.1 hours. The newly installed capacity in 2023 will be approximately 22.6 million kilowatts/48.7 million kilowatt-hours, an increase of nearly three times from the end of 2022.

The above is the detailed content of Tesla's Shanghai Energy Storage Gigafactory receives construction permit and will achieve mass production in the first quarter of next year. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
