Last week, we reported on Tesla’s Vice President of Energy products Lyndon Rive confirming that the company is in talks with local utilities to quickly deploy large-scale energy storage in Australia in order to address their current energy crisis.
CEO Elon Musk is now involved and they seem to have made progress over the weekend after talking with government officials.
As we discussed last week, Musk promised Tesla could deliver over 100 MWh of energy storage in 100 days or it would be free.
The executive has since discussed the project with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and with Jay Weatherill, Premier of South Australia, the state most affected by the energy crisis.
They appear to be seriously considering deploing energy storage at an unprecedented scale.
Musk tweeted about both conversations and representatives from both government officials said that they planned to keep the channels of discussion open.
