A project launched with Tesla in Qatar in cooperation with Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) is a pilot project. To accumulate energy at one of the substations for the distribution of electricity received from the sun, batteries with a total capacity of only 4 MWh are placed. For comparison, in Australia, Tesla has created a storage capacity of 129 MWh.

According to the Qatari KAHRAMAA, if Tesla’s energy storage subsystem proves to be a reliable and promising solution for smoothing surges in electricity consumption, then the company may be offered a contract to create a buffer system for energy storage in a new promising project. This is the Al Kharsaah solar power plant project in Qatar with a capacity of 800 MW. Note that in the project in Qatar, Tesla used Powerpack energy storage systems. Similar solutions were used when deploying an accumulation system in Australia, but then the work was done on time and on a dispute, so Tesla used what it had at hand. Today, the company has more advanced and more powerful energy storage systems – Megapack. Obviously, the latter is more profitable to use in large projects, and they will increasingly appear in the news, although the same South Korea, for example, did not allow the use of Tesla’s accumulation systems on its territory.
