A l’ouest de Nantes, près du pont de Cheviré… Un projet de parc de stockage d’électricité par batteries… Sur les images c’est propre, c’est blanc. Le plus grand parc de France nous dit-on. Et patati et patata… Surtout, les batteries sont signées TeslaMegapack… Pour recharger des TeSSla ? Cela ne sent pas bon, ça pue. Aujourd’hui, après le salut nazi du patron, à l’heure de tourner définitivement le dos au réseau X, de rayer ou taguer des bagnoles Tesla… Allons-y voir de plus près ! Livraison annoncée pour l’hiver prochain. Quelques articles sont parus ici ou là ces dernières semaines (Ouest-France, Le Figaro). En voici un publié sur le site du port… https://www.nantes.port.fr/fr/actualites/le-plus-grand-parc-de-stockage-delectricite-sinstalle-chevire

A large Tesla Megapack battery system has begun operations in Texas, contributing to the state’s power grid. The 500 MWh system is part of Ørsted’s new 250 MW/500 MWh Old 300 battery storage facility located in Needville, southwest of Houston. This project integrates fully with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid and can

Speil Energy is advancing a substantial battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Texas, representing a major addition to their renewable energy assets. The system boasts a considerable capacity of 1.1 gigawatts and 4.4 gigawatt-hours, designed to bolster the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid and facilitate the delivery of clean electricity. Tesla has been selected as the hardware supplier, providing the Megapack energy storage units. The financing for this project combines debt and equity, with a consortium of banks providing the debt portion. Speil Energy is receiving legal counsel from Norton Rose Fulbright, while the lending institutions are represented by Baker Botts. Jeanne L. Katz is serving as the financial advisor for Speil Energy. This initiative is particularly noteworthy given the current context of Texas's energy landscape. ERCOT's grid faces increasing demand and occasional stresses, making grid stability paramount. This BESS project aims to directly address this need, aligning with a broader movement towards increased investment in renewable energy sources and energy storage technologies. Recent developments in the energy sector provide a wider perspective on this project's significance. Congressional action has recently eliminated a proposed methane fee for oil and gas producers, while a bipartisan group of senators has voiced support for maintaining energy tax credits. Furthermore, evolving perspectives on energy production are reflected in critiques of traditional “drill, baby, drill” approaches within the energy production industry.
