Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Elon Musk's Tesla filed an application to supply electricity to homes and businesses in Britain.
First reported by The Daily Telegraph, the electric vehicle and energy company's request for an electricity supply license has been noted publicly by Britain's nonpartisan Office of Gas and Electricity Markets energy regulating agency, or OFGEM.
Tesla Energy Ventures Limited is seeking authorization to supply electricity to "any non-domestic and domestic premises" located within "Great Britain, the territorial sea adjacent to Great Britain and any Renewable Energy Zone," or areas that fall under the U.K.'s sovereign rights under the Continental Shelf Act of 1964.
The application was formally submitted last month and was signed by Andrew Payne, who runs Tesla's European energy operations.
