The British billionaire Gupta wants to trump Musk’s battery

***South Australia has became the fighting ground of an interesting fight between two billionaires, Sanjeev Gupta and Elon Musk over who will have the largest battery in the world.***

South Australia is a place of grandiose experiments with energy storage. It was here where Elon Musk challenged himself to build the largest battery in the world in just a 100 days. And if he had failed he would have had to pay for the battery himself. But we won. He built in a 100MW/129MWh battery in Jamestown and since 2017 it has been working well providing energy to Australian households. But now a challenger appeared, a British billionaire of Indian descent Sanjeev Gupta.

Gupta wants to defeat Musk with a 120MW/140MWh battery. If he succeeds he will be the author of the largest battery in the world. The battery should be connected to a solar farm that belongs to the Whyalla Steelworks company in Port Augusta.

If there is anyone who is happy because of this billionaire’s duel, it’s Australia. South Australia has a big demand for projects that would make it energetically safe after the big storm of 2016 that caused a blackout in all of South Australia. And that is exactly what these batteries bring to the table.
