Tesla and NatPower have put pen to a landmark agreement that will see the latter receive more than 25GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Italy and the UK.
The deal, which will see NatPower own and operate the projects, represents the first time BESS procurement, financing and execution have been coordinated across multiple countries through one integrated delivery model, marking a new kind of approach to scaling up energy infrastructure.
"Tesla is excited to partner with NatPower on this long-term agreement," says Mike Snyder, VP of Energy and Charging at Tesla. "They have a strong vision for scaling battery deployments quickly and efficiently across Europe,"
"Our team of experts are helping accelerate these deployments through our vertically integrated offering, providing hardware, software, construction, trading optimisation and service to bring projects online faster and ensure they operate smoothly throughout the lifetime of the product."
Rather than focusing solely on supplying battery technology, Tesla will help NatPower from the development stages all the way through to operation.
