About Megapack

Battery storage is an increasingly important element of the world’s transition to sustainable


energy. To match global demand for massive battery storage, Tesla designed and engineered
a new battery product specifically for utility-scale projects: Megapack.

By building a fully integrated product, Tesla significantly reduced the complexity of large- Location
scale battery storage, providing an easy installation and connection process in a product Geelong, Victoria
with 10 times the energy density of a Powerpack system. Megapack achieves significant cost
and time savings compared to other battery systems and traditional fossil fuel power plants. Victorian Big Battery

Using Megapack, Tesla can deploy an emissions-free 250 MW, 1 GWh power plant 4 times Tesla to deliver and operate
faster than a traditional fossil fuel power plant of that size. a 300 MW / 450 MWh

Every Megapack arrives pre-assembled and pre-tested in one enclosure from our Gigafactory market optimisation

For utility-size installations, Megapack can act as a sustainable alternative to natural gas Tesla’s Megapack system

About Autobidder

Autobidder provides independent power producers, utilities and capital partners with the ability to autonomously monetise
battery assets. Autobidder is a real-time trading and control platform that provides value-based asset management and portfolio
optimisation, enabling owners and operators to configure operational strategies that maximise revenue based on their business
objectives and risk preferences.

Implemented on the Hornsdale Power Reserve 100MW / 129MWh battery operating in the Australian spot electricity market
deployed in December 2017, Autobidder far surpassed revenue expectations in its two and a half years of operation and has
fundamentally altered the landscape of Australia’s electricity market.

As Tesla continues to deploy Autobidder across key market segments including; Utility, Residential and C&I Virtual Power Plants
(VPPs), no other solution has come close to generating a comparable track record of value creation in merchant revenue streams
for battery storage. Autobidder’s core optimisation technology is operating globally for customers and partners, delivering the
key value streams necessary to further accelerate the uptake of energy storage worldwide.
