Tesla announced on Thursday that has signed a contract Intersect Power for 15.3 GWh of Megapacks, its battery energy storage system. The company said it will use Tesla’s Megapacks for solar and storage projects through 2030.
This contract marks the third one Tesla Energy signed in the last seven days after two other signings in Australia.
The Megapacks are scheduled to be delivered in 2025 and 2026 and will be produced in the company’s Megafactory in Lathrop, California.
With nearly 10 GWh of large-scale energy storage expected to be deployed by the end of 2027, Intersect Power becomes now one of the largest buyers and operators of Megapacks globally.
Tesla has previously supplied Megapacks for Intersect Power’s Base Portfolio of solar + storage facilities totaling 2.4 GWh in operation or under construction.
Intersect Power announced plans to use over half of the new Megapack order for four projects in California and Texas, expected to be operational by the end of 2027. These projects will feature some of the largest battery installations in the country.
Mike Snyder, Senior Director of Tesla Energy, stated that Intersect “continues to be an exceptional partner, and their development expertise combined with the plug-and-play nature of Tesla’s vertically integrated technology enables the speed and scale needed to enhance grid resilience and support greater renewables integration.”
Intersect Power develops, owns, and operates some of the country’s largest and most flexibly dispatched Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at the company’s solar + storage facilities in Texas and California.
The company is currently installing the additional 1 GWh of Tesla Megapacks at its Radian and Lumina solar + storage facilities in Texas, which will be fully operational within the year, according to Intersect Power.
