Tesla of Elon Musk
The billionaire says he has won a bid to supply the world's largest lithium
Ion battery supports the state of power failure in South Australia-
Plaguing the grid, cashing in on Twitter for the first time four months ago to help solve the country's energy problems.
By December, Tesla will provide 100 MW of storage capacity.
According to a statement issued by South Australian Prime Minister Jay Weatherill on Friday, 1, pair it with a wind farm in Hornsdale, north of Adelaide.
Tesla said in another statement that the system will have a capacity of 129 MW and will provide enough power to more than 30,000 families.
"We're talking about three times as much as the world's second-largest battery unit," Musk told reporters in Adelaide . ".
Musk had previously promised to build the system and make it work within 100 days of signing the contract, otherwise Tesla would provide the system free of charge, a pledge he backed up on Friday.
"At the time of signing the contract, we actually insisted on 100 days, otherwise it would be free," Musk said . ".
"That's what we said publicly, and that's what we're going to do.
If the project is up and running within the next 100 days, it could be the world's largest lithium-
Ion batteries, "said Simon Harbart of Hong Kong.
Research analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance in Hong Kong.
"With projects of similar size emerging in Australia, Canada and Japan, competition for leadership will be fierce.
"Battery storage is the future of our national energy market, and the world's eyes will be on our leadership in this area," Weatherill said in a statement . ".

The goal of the electric Model S sedan is to be among the forefront of the emerging energy storage market.
In addition to providing customers with residential energy storage units known as "Powerwall", Tesla is still making it big --

The ion battery technology that powers Tesla cars is being used to help integrate more and more solar and wind energy into the grid, and the company's clear mission is to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy ".
"In California, Tesla was selected to offer a 20 MW/80 MWh Powerpack system at the Mira Roma substation in Edison, Southern California.
Tesla successfully installed the system in three months.
Battery emusk earlier promised to install and operate the Tesla Battery storage system, which is designed to prevent power outages in South Australia. South Australia is the continent's most dependent state on renewable energy.
The promise has injected Musk into a political dispute over the chaos of Australia's energy policy.
A series of power outages in South Australia have raised fears about the wider power outage in the country's electricity market, and why it is difficult for one of the world's largest coal and gas producers to keep the lights on in one state on the mainland. Musk’s 100-
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who accepted the daily battery promise, made innovation a flagship policy ahead of last year's general election, during the Internet boom in the 1990 s, he made a lot of money in politics.
Turnbull wrote on Twitter that energy storage will be "a priority for this year ".
Musk replied on Twitter that renewable energy and storage are huge spoilers of traditional power supplies, while Australian tech billionaire Mike Cannon-
Brooks, who helped push for a solution to the energy crisis, said on Wednesday that the "space age" technology could be a quick solution for South Australia. (
