It may seem unusual that residents in a small Australian city might have issues with Musk, given their distance from his policies and decisions. And it’s especially unusual given South Australia’s past positive experience with the billionaire entrepreneur.
In 2017, Musk offered to build the world’s most powerful battery to solve some of the state’s power woes within 100 days, or it would be free. And he did. South Australia is now leading the country in terms of renewable energy and is on track to hit its target of 100% net renewables by 2027.
Backed by the state government, Tesla and a local power company have created a virtual power plant fitting Powerwall battery systems on homes across the state. The idea is that all the batteries would band together to support the grid in times of high demand.
