Tesla’s Shanghai Energy Storage Gigafactory will be put into trial operation within the year, with an estimated energy storage scale of nearly 40GWh

The construction of Shanghai’s Future Industry Pilot Zone is celebrating its “first anniversary”. At a press briefing hosted by Lu Yu, director of the High-tech Division of the Lingang New Area Management Committee, the much-anticipated Tesla energy storage project was revealed important information. Lu Yu said that the project plans to complete trial production within this year, and the production scale is expected to be close to 40GWh. This news has attracted widespread attention. Tesla's energy storage project is of great significance to local industry development and renewable energy utilization. As a world-renowned electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla’s participation in the energy storage field has attracted much attention. By cooperating with Shanghai, Tesla's construction of energy storage projects in the Lingang New Area will help improve the local industrial level and technological innovation capabilities. Pre

Lu Yu also further introduced Lingang's other progress in the new energy field. He mentioned that Lingang has successfully recruited the first batch of aggregators, which will help promote a more precise response from the virtual power plant. At the same time, Lingang is also actively promoting technological research and starting to pre-research new nuclear fusion energy system technology with the help of the implementation of energy singularity. The core of this technology lies in the development of a tokamak device that can achieve controllable and sustained nuclear fusion, thus laying a solid foundation for promoting the development of the ultimate energy source - controllable nuclear fusion.

According to the editor’s understanding, Tesla’s Shanghai energy storage super factory has always attracted the attention of the industry. Previous reports stated that the factory will focus on the production of Tesla's ultra-large commercial energy storage batteries (Megapack) and is scheduled to be officially put into production in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, the initial planned annual production capacity of the factory is also considerable. It is expected that the annual production capacity of commercial energy storage batteries can reach 10,000 units, and the energy storage scale is nearly 40GWh. This means that Tesla’s Shanghai factory will become an important production base to meet global market demand.

For Megapack, its goal is not only to exist as a huge battery, but more importantly to assist Stable energy network. Tesla said that each Megapack unit has the ability to store 3MWh of energy, which is enough to meet the average electricity demand of 3,600 households for one hour. With the new factory in Shanghai put into operation, it is expected to produce 10,000 Megapack batteries per year, equivalent to approximately 40 gigawatt hours of energy storage. These products will be sold around the world and contribute to global energy stability.
