Within 100 days of signing the contract at the end of September, megawatt batteries were handed over to the South Australian government free of charge.
South Australian Prime Minister Jay Weatherill announced on Friday that as temperatures rise above 30 degrees Celsius, the battery began delivering power to the State Grid on Thursday afternoon, providing 70 MW.
"South Australia is now a world leader in Dispatching renewable energy, providing 24/7 of renewable energy to households and businesses," said Weatherill . ".
More than 60 days after the signing of the agreement, officially launched.
But crucially, it happened on the first day of summer in Australia --
Due to the use of air conditioners, the season of electricity consumption surge.
Tesla said that in the case of a severe power outage, the battery can power 30,000 households for up to an hour, but it is more likely to take action to increase supply during peak demand.
These battery packs are installed in the vicinity of Jamestown inland town, about 200 kilometers north of the capital Adelaide.
They stock up the energy generated by the French renewable energy company neen's neighboring Hornsdale wind farm, bringing greater reliability and stability to the state grid.
Tesla worked with Neoen to make batteries, three times higher than previous records.

South Australia, which relies heavily on solar and wind energy-
Since the state suffered a power outage in a storm last year, power generation has been scrambling to find a way to support its fragile grid.
Further power outages have plagued the state in the coming months.
The battery farm is part of the $0. 55 billion ($0. 53 billion) plan announced by Weatherill, which aims to make the state independent of the State Grid.
The cost of the battery has not been disclosed.
Australian grid operators have warned of a possible shortage of natural gas
By late next year, electricity will be available in southeast Australia.
As Australia is expected to soon replace Qatar as the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, the shortage is imminent.
Australia is also a major exporter of coal, and most of its electricity generation is burning, making the country one of the world's worst greenhouse gas pollution countries per capita.
