Each Megapack is a container of similar size to an\nintermodal container\n. They are designed to be deployed by electric utilities. The energy stored can be used as required, for example during periods of peak electricity demand or when grid power is disrupted.\nTesla Energy also offers the\nPowerwall\n, a smaller energy storage device intended for home use.\nTesla Giga Nevada, where the Megapack was designed and is manufactured, along with Lathrop\nOn April 30, 2015, Tesla announced that it would sell standalone battery storage products to consumers and utilities.\n[\n1\n]\nTesla CEO\nElon Musk\nstated that the company's battery storage products could be used to improve the reliability of intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind.\n[\n1\n]\nPrior to the Megapack launch, Tesla used its 200 kilowatt-hour (kWh)\nPowerpack\nenergy storage product to meet the needs of utilities with large-scale storage requirements such as at the\nHornsdale Power Reserve\n.\nDesign work began on the Megapack project at\nGiga Nevada\nat least as early as the first half of 2018.\n[\n2\n]\nIn July 2019, Megapack launched.\n[\n3\n]\nIt was described by Tesla as a utility-scale energy storage product, suitable for power stations and utilities.\n[\n3\n]\nTesla claimed that Megapacks would be compatible with Tesla power station monitoring and energy control software, Powerhub and Autobidder.\n[\n3\n]\nThe company stated that Megapack was designed to meet the needs of large-scale battery storage projects, as with the Powerpacks.\n[\n3\n]\nTesla acquired a former\nJCPenney\ndistribution center in\nLathrop, California\n, in 2021 and converted it into a\nbattery plant called Megafactory\n,\n[\n4\n]\nwith a target capacity of 40 GWh\/year when finished.\n[\n5\n]\nNext-generation Megapacks use prismatic (rectangular)\nlithium iron phosphate\n(LFP) battery cells,\n[\n6\n]\nfor example in the 585 MWh\nKapolei, Hawaii\nfacility from 2024.\n[\n7\n]\nTesla's LFP cell suppliers include China's\nCATL\nand\nLG Energy Solution\nwhich has factories in South Korea and the US.\n[\n8\n]\nTesla's energy deployment added 3.9 GWh in the first quarter of 2023.\n[\n9\n]\nThe combined delivery of storage (Powerwall and Megapack) was 6.5 GWh in 2022, 14.7 GWh in 2023, and 31.4 GWh in 2024.\n[\n10\n]\nIn 2023, Tesla announced a new \"Megafactory\" in Shanghai to manufacture Megapacks, with the goal of producing about 10,000 packs per year,\n[\n11\n]\nand the factory started low rate initial production in late 2024.\n[\n12\n]\nTesla builds a service facility at the 877 MWh\nCollie battery\nin\nWestern Australia\n, to repair and remanufacture batteries in the state.\n[\n13\n]\nOn September 8 2025, the company announced a new product for late 2026, called \"Megablock\", which consists in up to 4 Megapacks version 3 connected with a transformer and a switchgear. Each Megapack 3 is 5 MWh (and 39 tonnes), so each Megablock is 20 MWh.

Each Megapack receives a minor annual service, and a major service every ten years. The annual maintenance includes inspections and cleaning. The ten-year maintenance includes activities such as replacing the pump and fan for the thermal management system and refilling the coolant fluid.\n[\n20\n]\nMaintenance is expected to take about an hour per Megapack.\n[\n18\n]\nThe Megapack thermal management system is located at the top of each unit.\n[\n18\n]\nIt uses coolant fluid, made of an equal-parts mixture of\nethylene glycol\nand water, to keep the battery at operating temperature.\n[\n18\n]\nEach Megapack 2XL weighs approximately 84,000 pounds (38,000 kg) and the enclosure is built to a similar size as an\nintermodal container\nand includes\ntwistlock\nfittings to allow automated handling.\nTesla Megapack site with\nsolar canopies\n[\n21\n]\n3D sketch\nGrid batteries are used for\nancillary services\nsuch as control of frequency and phase,\nblack start\n,\noperating reserve\netc.\nMegapacks are designed for large-scale energy storage. Megapacks are used by utilities to replace or augment\npeaker power plants\n,\n[\n22\n]\nwhich generate energy during periods of peak demand. Megapacks store grid energy rather than generating it from fuel.\n[\n23\n]\nIn some areas, energy storage has become a requirement to help convert\nintermittent energy sources such as wind and solar\ninto firm power.\n[\n24\n]\nOther energy storage solutions, such as\npumped hydroelectric storage\n, dominate the time-shift market. As of 2019, pumped hydroelectric storage accounted for 96% of global energy storage capacity.\n[\n25\n]\nPumped hydroelectric storage systems have lower efficiency, but longer lifetimes than battery storage.\n[\n25\n]\nBatteries may be deployed more quickly than other storage technologies.\n[\n26\n]\nSupercharger stations\n[\nedit\n]\n3D sketch of\nTesla Supercharger\nstation with\nsolar canopies\nand 8 Megapack set for close to 32\nMWh\nMegapacks have been installed at\nTesla Supercharger\nstations that also have\nsolar canopies\nto help power the Megapacks.\n[\n27\n]\nMegapacks can smooth out\nelectric demand\non the local power grid and use the stored Megapacks electricity during\npeak demand\nso there are not excessive surcharges on electricity to charge the electric vehicles.\n[\n28\n]\nTo support summer travel Tesla claimed in July 2025 to have connected for the first time a mobile Megapack to a European Supercharger, the\nOtočac\nstation in\nCroatia\n.\n[\n29\n]\nIn November 2019, Tesla used a Megapack to power a mobile recharging station for Tesla electric vehicles in California.\n[\n30\n]\nThe mobile Supercharger delivered 125 kW, and was transported on a flat trailer attached to a truck between deployment locations.\n[\n30\n]\nIn December 2019, Tesla delivered a 1.25 MW\/2.5 MWh Megapack to the\nMillidgeville\nSubstation in\nSaint John\n, Canada for\npeak shaving\n.\n[\n31\n]\n[\n32\n]\nThe battery is estimated to save owner Saint John Energy CA$200,000 per year.\n[\n33\n]\nIt became operational on April 3, 2020.\n[\n34\n]\nThe 300 MW\/450 MWh\nVictorian Big Battery\nnear\nGeelong\n, Australia,\n[\n35\n]\nconstituted the largest battery in the southern hemisphere at the time.\n[\n36\n]\nThe\ncommissioning\nprocess was halted due to a fire (see \"Safety\" section), and the lessons learned were applied to other batteries.\n[\n37\n]\nThe battery was commissioned on time in December 2021, a year after contract,\n[\n38\n]\nwith an estimated\nreturn on investment\nof 2.4.\n[\n39\n]\nIn December 2021, Strata Solar, an American commercial solar services provider, deployed a 100 MW\/400 MWh energy storage facility in\nVentura County\n, California, using 142 Megapacks.\n[\n40\n]\nThe deployment replaced a natural-gas peaker plant.\nAs of June 2022,\nPacific Gas and Electric Company\n(PG&E) operates a\n182.5 MW\/730 MWh 256-Megapack system at Moss Landing\n, in\nMonterey County\n, California.\n[\n41\n]\n[\n42\n]\n[\n3\n]\n[\n43\n]\nTransAlta\nowns and operates a 10 MW\/20 MWh Megapack system near\nPincher Creek\n, Alberta, Canada, which was completed in October 2020.\n[\n44\n]\nAs of July 2024, it is one of ten active storage sites in Alberta,\n[\n45\n]\nand all are Megapacks.\nGrid-scale battery standards and fire containment practices are at an early stage of development.\n[\n46\n]\nFire risks are one factor that has delayed the deployment of some utility energy storage systems. Most battery fires cannot be extinguished with water, which is the primary firefighting technique in most communities. A fire in a single cell can cascade to others via\nthermal runaway\n, possibly in milliseconds, potentially creating a major hazard.\n[\n46\n]\nPreventing fires involves multiple layers of protection. First, is to prevent fire in a single cell, by eliminating sparks and short circuits. However, grid-scale systems face potential problems such as coolant leaks and faulty installation. Venting flammable gases and improved insulation reduce cascade risks. Placing controls outside of the container gives more management options. Instead of suppressants, monitoring the situation while watering surrounding areas can help contain the fire. Sensors that track local weather conditions can help avoid overheating. Lithium-free designs with lower fire risks are possible.\n[\n46\n]\n\"Plume modeling\" attempts to predict how gases from burning battery chemicals might travel. The gases produced vary across battery types,\nhydrogen fluoride\n(HF) is of particular concern even at low concentrations. A later plume analysis by Vistra reported that concentrations of HF above California exposure limits could spread across an area 1300 feet in diameter under wind conditions that occur 7 percent of the year.\n[\n46\n]\nIn\nRaquette Lake\n, New York, the town passed a one-year moratorium preventing battery installation in response to protests citing fires at three New York battery installations. Protestors cited a fire in\nLyme, New York\nthat burned for four days.\n[\n46\n]\nA Megapack ignited at Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG&E's) Moss Landing, California facility in September 2022. The fire led to a day-long shelter-in-place advisory. PG&E stated that safety measures included thermal alarms that can shut down the system, an incident command center, an audible evacuation alarm, pre-fire planning with local fire crews and emergency shut down protocols. Heat-suppression systems, intended to curb thermal runaway, were accidentally triggered, dousing batteries in water that caused arcing and short circuiting. The plant was shut down for months.\n[\n47\n]\nVistra's third installation in Moss Landing adopted the outdoor container model instead of putting the racks under a single roof. (Vistra stated that the outdoor design was chosen to expedite construction.)\n[\n46\n]\n[\n48\n]\nIn July 2021, one of the 212 Megapack modules at the\nVictorian Big Battery\nproject caught fire\n[\n49\n]\ndue to a coolant leak while the battery was unmonitored. That ignited the adjacent Megapack.\n[\n37\n]\nThree days later, the fire had burnt itself out as preferred by the fire department.\n[\n50\n]\n[\n51\n]\n[\n46\n]\nA 50 MW \/ 100 MWh battery project using Tesla Megapack 2 was under construction in\nBouldercombe\nnear Rockhampton, Queensland.\n[\n52\n]\nThe\nalternating current\nsection caught fire in September 2023 and spread to the cells of one Megapack module, also damaging the adjacent module. Both modules are being replaced by Tesla. Other 36 modules were operational a couple of days later.\n[\n53\n]\nTesla Supercharger Station\n^\na\nb\nCastelvecchi, Davide (May 1, 2015).\n\"Will Tesla's battery change the energy market?\"\n.\nNature\nnature.2015.17469.\ndoi\n:\n10.1038\/nature.2015.17469\n.\nISSN\n \n0028-0836\n.\nS2CID\n \n138439698\n.\nArchived\nfrom the original on August 8, 2021\n.

October 2020.[\\[44\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-44) As of July 2024, it is one of ten active storage sites in Alberta,[\\[45\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-45) and all are Megapacks.\n\n## Safety\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Tesla_Megapack&action=edit&section=11 \"Edit section: Safety\")\\]\n\nGrid-scale battery standards and fire containment practices are at an early stage of development.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nFire risks are one factor that has delayed the deployment of some utility energy storage systems. Most battery fires cannot be extinguished with water, which is the primary firefighting technique in most communities. A fire in a single cell can cascade to others via [thermal runaway](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thermal_runaway \"Thermal runaway\"), possibly in milliseconds, potentially creating a major hazard.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nPreventing fires involves multiple layers of protection. First, is to prevent fire in a single cell, by eliminating sparks and short circuits. However, grid-scale systems face potential problems such as coolant leaks and faulty installation. Venting flammable gases and improved insulation reduce cascade risks. Placing controls outside of the container gives more management options. Instead of suppressants, monitoring the situation while watering surrounding areas can help contain the fire. Sensors that track local weather conditions can help avoid overheating. Lithium-free designs with lower fire risks are possible.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\n\"Plume modeling\" attempts to predict how gases from burning battery chemicals might travel. The gases produced vary across battery types, [hydrogen fluoride](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hydrogen_fluoride \"Hydrogen fluoride\") (HF) is of particular concern even at low concentrations. A later plume analysis by Vistra reported that concentrations of HF above California exposure limits could spread across an area 1300 feet in diameter under wind conditions that occur 7 percent of the year.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nIn [Raquette Lake](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raquette_Lake \"Raquette Lake\"), New York, the town passed a one-year moratorium preventing battery installation in response to protests citing fires at three New York battery installations. Protestors cited a fire in [Lyme, New York](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lyme,_New_York \"Lyme, New York\") that burned for four days.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nA Megapack ignited at Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG\\&E's) Moss Landing, California facility in September 2022. The fire led to a day-long shelter-in-place advisory. PG\\&E stated that safety measures included thermal alarms that can shut down the system, an incident command center, an audible evacuation alarm, pre-fire planning with local fire crews and emergency shut down protocols. Heat-suppression systems, intended to curb thermal runaway, were accidentally triggered, dousing batteries in water that caused arcing and short circuiting. The plant was shut down for months.[\\[47\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-47) Vistra's third installation in Moss Landing adopted the outdoor container model instead of putting the racks under a single roof. (Vistra stated that the outdoor design was chosen to expedite construction.)[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)[\\[48\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-48)\n\nIn July 2021, one of the 212 Megapack modules at the [Victorian Big Battery](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Victorian_Big_Battery \"Victorian Big Battery\") project caught fire[\\[49\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-49) due to a coolant leak while the battery was unmonitored. That ignited the adjacent Megapack.[\\[37\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-vicRenew-37) Three days later, the fire had burnt itself out as preferred by the fire department.[\\[50\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-renewVBB-50)[\\[51\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-mooraboolfire-51)[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nA 50 MW \/ 100 MWh battery project using Tesla Megapack 2 was under construction in [Bouldercombe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bouldercombe \"Bouldercombe\") near Rockhampton, Queensland.[\\[52\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-52) The [alternating current](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alternating_current \"Alternating current\") section caught fire in September 2023 and spread to the cells of one Megapack module, also damaging the adjacent module. Both modules are being replaced by Tesla. Other 36 modules were operational a couple of days later.[\\[53\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-53)\n\n## See also\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Tesla_Megapack&action=edit&section=12 \"Edit section: See also\")\\]\n\n- [Tesla Supercharger Station](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Supercharger \"Tesla Supercharger\")\n\n## References\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Tesla_Megapack&action=edit&section=13 \"Edit section: References\")\\]\n\n1. ^ [***a***](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_ref-Castelvecchi_2015_1-0) [***b***](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_ref-Castelvecchi_2015_1-1)\n   Castelvecchi, Davide (May 1, 2015).

commissioning\") process was halted due to a fire (see \"Safety\" section), and the lessons learned were applied to other batteries.[\\[37\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-vicRenew-37) The battery was commissioned on time in December 2021, a year after contract,[\\[38\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-38) with an estimated [return on investment](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Return_on_investment \"Return on investment\") of 2.4.[\\[39\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-39)\n\nIn December 2021, Strata Solar, an American commercial solar services provider, deployed a 100 MW\/400 MWh energy storage facility in [Ventura County](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ventura_County,_California \"Ventura County, California\"), California, using 142 Megapacks.[\\[40\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-40) The deployment replaced a natural-gas peaker plant.\n\nAs of June 2022, [Pacific Gas and Electric Company](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pacific_Gas_and_Electric_Company \"Pacific Gas and Electric Company\") (PG\\&E) operates a [182\\.5 MW\/730 MWh 256-Megapack system at Moss

California.[\\[41\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-41)[\\[42\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-42)[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-blog-3)[\\[43\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-43)\n\n[TransAlta](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TransAlta \"TransAlta\") owns and operates a 10 MW\/20 MWh Megapack system near [Pincher Creek](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pincher_Creek \"Pincher Creek\"), Alberta, Canada, which was completed in October 2020.[\\[44\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-44) As of July 2024, it is one of ten active storage sites in Alberta,[\\[45\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-45) and all are Megapacks.\n\nGrid-scale battery standards and fire containment practices are at an early stage of development.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nFire risks are one factor that has delayed the deployment of some utility energy storage systems. Most battery fires cannot be extinguished with water, which is the primary firefighting technique in most communities. A fire in a single cell can cascade to others via [thermal runaway](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thermal_runaway \"Thermal runaway\"), possibly in milliseconds, potentially creating a major hazard.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nPreventing fires involves multiple layers of protection. First, is to prevent fire in a single cell, by eliminating sparks and short circuits. However, grid-scale systems face potential problems such as coolant leaks and faulty installation. Venting flammable gases and improved insulation reduce cascade risks. Placing controls outside of the container gives more management options. Instead of suppressants, monitoring the situation while watering surrounding areas can help contain the fire. Sensors that track local weather conditions can help avoid overheating. Lithium-free designs with lower fire risks are possible.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\n\"Plume modeling\" attempts to predict how gases from burning battery chemicals might travel. The gases produced vary across battery types, [hydrogen fluoride](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hydrogen_fluoride \"Hydrogen fluoride\") (HF) is of particular concern even at low concentrations. A later plume analysis by Vistra reported that concentrations of HF above California exposure limits could spread across an area 1300 feet in diameter under wind conditions that occur 7 percent of the year.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nIn [Raquette Lake](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raquette_Lake \"Raquette Lake\"), New York, the town passed a one-year moratorium preventing battery installation in response to protests citing fires at three New York battery installations. Protestors cited a fire in [Lyme, New York](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lyme,_New_York \"Lyme, New York\") that burned for four days.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nA Megapack ignited at Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG\\&E's) Moss Landing, California facility in September 2022. The fire led to a day-long shelter-in-place advisory. PG\\&E stated that safety measures included thermal alarms that can shut down the system, an incident command center, an audible evacuation alarm, pre-fire planning with local fire crews and emergency shut down protocols. Heat-suppression systems, intended to curb thermal runaway, were accidentally triggered, dousing batteries in water that caused arcing and short circuiting. The plant was shut down for months.[\\[47\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-47) Vistra's third installation in Moss Landing adopted the outdoor container model instead of putting the racks under a single roof. (Vistra stated that the outdoor design was chosen to expedite construction.)[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)[\\[48\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-48)\n\nIn July 2021, one of the 212 Megapack modules at the [Victorian Big Battery](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Victorian_Big_Battery \"Victorian Big Battery\") project caught fire[\\[49\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-49) due to a coolant leak while the battery was unmonitored. That ignited the adjacent Megapack.[\\[37\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-vicRenew-37) Three days later, the fire had burnt itself out as preferred by the fire department.[\\[50\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-renewVBB-50)[\\[51\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-mooraboolfire-51)[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)\n\nA 50 MW \/ 100 MWh battery project using Tesla Megapack 2 was under construction in [Bouldercombe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bouldercombe \"Bouldercombe\") near Rockhampton, Queensland.[\\[52\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-52) The [alternating current](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alternating_current \"Alternating current\") section caught fire in September 2023 and spread to the cells of one Megapack module, also damaging the adjacent module. Both modules are being replaced by Tesla. Other 36 modules were operational a couple of days later.[\\[53\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-53)\n\n- [Tesla Supercharger Station](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Supercharger \"Tesla Supercharger\")\n\n1. ^ [***a***](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_ref-Castelvecchi_2015_1-0) [***b***](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tesla_Megapack#cite_ref-Castelvecchi_2015_1-1)\n   Castelvecchi, Davide (May 1, 2015).

Boilerpipe Text	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about Tesla battery energy storage device for electrical utility use. For other uses, see Megapack (disambiguation) . Tesla Megapack Tesla Megapack set of 4 with solar canopy 3D sketch Type Grid energy storage Inception June 2019 ; 6 years ago Manufacturer Tesla Energy Website tesla .com /megapack The Tesla Megapack is a large-scale rechargeable lithium-ion battery stationary energy storage product, intended for use at battery storage power stations , manufactured by Tesla Energy , the energy subsidiary of Tesla, Inc. Launched in 2019, a Megapack can store up to 3.9 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity. Each Megapack is a container of similar size to an intermodal container . They are designed to be deployed by electric utilities. The energy stored can be used as required, for example during periods of peak electricity demand or when grid power is disrupted. Tesla Energy also offers the Powerwall , a smaller energy storage device intended for home use. Tesla Giga Nevada, where the Megapack was designed and is manufactured, along with Lathrop On April 30, 2015, Tesla announced that it would sell standalone battery storage products to consumers and utilities. [ 1 ] Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that the company's battery storage products could be used to improve the reliability of intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. [ 1 ] Prior to the Megapack launch, Tesla used its 200 kilowatt-hour (kWh) Powerpack energy storage product to meet the needs of utilities with large-scale storage requirements such as at the Hornsdale Power Reserve . Design work began on the Megapack project at Giga Nevada at least as early as the first half of 2018. [ 2 ] In July 2019, Megapack launched. [ 3 ] It was described by Tesla as a utility-scale energy storage product, suitable for power stations and utilities. [ 3 ] Tesla claimed that Megapacks would be compatible with Tesla power station monitoring and energy control software, Powerhub and Autobidder. [ 3 ] The company stated that Megapack was designed to meet the needs of large-scale battery storage projects, as with the Powerpacks. [ 3 ] Tesla acquired a former JCPenney distribution center in Lathrop, California , in 2021 and converted it into a battery plant called Megafactory , [ 4 ] with a target capacity of 40 GWh/year when finished. [ 5 ] Next-generation Megapacks use prismatic (rectangular) lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells, [ 6 ] for example in the 585 MWh Kapolei, Hawaii facility from 2024. [ 7 ] Tesla's LFP cell suppliers include China's CATL and LG Energy Solution which has factories in South Korea and the US. [ 8 ] Tesla's energy deployment added 3.9 GWh in the first quarter of 2023. [ 9 ] The combined delivery of storage (Powerwall and Megapack) was 6.5 GWh in 2022, 14.7 GWh in 2023, and 31.4 GWh in 2024. [ 10 ] In 2023, Tesla announced a new "Megafactory" in Shanghai to manufacture Megapacks, with the goal of producing about 10,000 packs per year, [ 11 ] and the factory started low rate initial production in late 2024. [ 12 ] Tesla builds a service facility at the 877 MWh Collie battery in Western Australia , to repair and remanufacture batteries in the state. [ 13 ] On September 8 2025, the company announced a new product for late 2026, called "Megablock", which consists in up to 4 Megapacks version 3 connected with a transformer and a switchgear. Each Megapack 3 is 5 MWh (and 39 tonnes), so each Megablock is 20 MWh. They will be produced in Tesla new facility in Houston , Texas . [ 14 ] Model Unit Cost Capacity Power Round Trip Efficiency Dimensions ( W x H x D ) [ 15 ] Cycle Life Weight [ 15 ] Megapack $1.24M 2.6 MWh [ 16 ] 1 MW [ 17 ] 23.52 ft × 8.27 ft × 5.44 ft (7.168 m × 2.522 m × 1.659 m) 56,000 lb (25,400 kg) Megapack 2 $1.47M 3.854 MWh 1.284 MW 92.0% 23.79 ft × 8.22 ft × 5.37 ft (7.25 m × 2.506 m × 1.637 m) 67,200 lb (30,500 kg) Megapack 2 XL $1.39M 3.916 MWh 1.927 MW 85-90% 28.87 ft × 9.14 ft × 5.41 ft (8.8 m × 2.785 m × 1.65 m) 3,000-5000 cycles Tesla .com 84,000 lb (38,100 kg) Megablock 3/ Megapack 3 estimated on Megapack pricing around $1.39M. 40% lower installation costs with 78% fewer connections. 5 MWh tbc 91% tbc >10,000 cycles 86,000 lb (39,000 kg) Each Megapack comes with a 15-year "no defect" and "energy retention" warranty. [ 17 ] A 10 or 20 year "performance guarantee" is available for an additional cost. [ 17 ] Once a Megapack has reached the end of its useful life, Tesla says they can be returned for recycling . [ 18 ] Megapacks are pre-assembled, including "battery modules, bi-directional inverters, a thermal management system, an AC main breaker and controls." [ 19 ] Tesla requires customers to purchase a maintenance service agreement. Each Megapack receives a minor annual service, and a major service every ten years. The annual maintenance includes inspections and cleaning. The ten-year maintenance includes activities such as replacing the pump and fan for the thermal management system and refilling the coolant fluid. [ 20 ] Maintenance is expected to take about an hour per Megapack. [ 18 ] The Megapack thermal management system is located at the top of each unit. [ 18 ] It uses coolant fluid, made of an equal-parts mixture of ethylene glycol and water, to keep the battery at operating temperature. [ 18 ] Each Megapack 2XL weighs approximately 84,000 pounds (38,000 kg) and the enclosure is built to a similar size as an intermodal container and includes twistlock fittings to allow automated handling. Tesla Megapack site with solar canopies [ 21 ] 3D sketch Grid batteries are used for ancillary services such as control of frequency and phase, black start , operating reserve etc. Megapacks are designed for large-scale energy storage. Megapacks are used by utilities to replace or augment peaker power plants , [ 22 ] which generate energy during periods of peak demand. Megapacks store grid energy rather than generating it from fuel. [ 23 ] In some areas, energy storage has become a requirement to help convert intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar into firm power. [ 24 ] Other energy storage solutions, such as pumped hydroelectric storage , dominate the time-shift market. As of 2019, pumped hydroelectric storage accounted for 96% of global energy storage capacity. [ 25 ] Pumped hydroelectric storage systems have lower efficiency, but longer lifetimes than battery storage. [ 25 ] Batteries may be deployed more quickly than other storage technologies. [ 26 ] Supercharger stations [ edit ] 3D sketch of Tesla Supercharger station with solar canopies and 8 Megapack set for close to 32 MWh Megapacks have been installed at Tesla Supercharger stations that also have solar canopies to help power the Megapacks. [ 27 ] Megapacks can smooth out electric demand on the local power grid and use the stored Megapacks electricity during peak demand so there are not excessive surcharges on electricity to charge the electric vehicles. [ 28 ] To support summer travel Tesla claimed in July 2025 to have connected for the first time a mobile Megapack to a European Supercharger, the Otočac station in Croatia . [ 29 ] In November 2019, Tesla used a Megapack to power a mobile recharging station for Tesla electric vehicles in California. [ 30 ] The mobile Supercharger delivered 125 kW, and was transported on a flat trailer attached to a truck between deployment locations. [ 30 ] In December 2019, Tesla delivered a 1.25 MW/2.5 MWh Megapack to the Millidgeville Substation in Saint John , Canada for peak shaving . [ 31 ] [ 32 ] The battery is estimated to save owner Saint John Energy CA$200,000 per year. [ 33 ] It became operational on April 3, 2020. [ 34 ] The 300 MW/450 MWh Victorian Big Battery near Geelong , Australia, [ 35 ] constituted the largest battery in the southern hemisphere at the time. [ 36 ] The commissioning process was halted due to a fire (see "Safety" section), and the lessons learned were applied to other batteries. [ 37 ] The battery was commissioned on time in December 2021, a year after contract, [ 38 ] with an estimated return on investment of 2.4. [ 39 ] In December 2021, Strata Solar, an American commercial solar services provider, deployed a 100 MW/400 MWh energy storage facility in Ventura County , California, using 142 Megapacks. [ 40 ] The deployment replaced a natural-gas peaker plant. As of June 2022, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) operates a 182.5 MW/730 MWh 256-Megapack system at Moss Landing , in Monterey County , California. [ 41 ] [ 42 ] [ 3 ] [ 43 ] TransAlta owns and operates a 10 MW/20 MWh Megapack system near Pincher Creek , Alberta, Canada, which was completed in October 2020. [ 44 ] As of July 2024, it is one of ten active storage sites in Alberta, [ 45 ] and all are Megapacks. Grid-scale battery standards and fire containment practices are at an early stage of development. [ 46 ] Fire risks are one factor that has delayed the deployment of some utility energy storage systems. Most battery fires cannot be extinguished with water, which is the primary firefighting technique in most communities. A fire in a single cell can cascade to others via thermal runaway , possibly in milliseconds, potentially creating a major hazard. [ 46 ] Preventing fires involves multiple layers of protection. First, is to prevent fire in a single cell, by eliminating sparks and short circuits. However, grid-scale systems face potential problems such as coolant leaks and faulty installation. Venting flammable gases and improved insulation reduce cascade risks. Placing controls outside of the container gives more management options. Instead of suppressants, monitoring the situation while watering surrounding areas can help contain the fire. Sensors that track local weather conditions can help avoid overheating. Lithium-free designs with lower fire risks are possible. [ 46 ] "Plume modeling" attempts to predict how gases from burning battery chemicals might travel. The gases produced vary across battery types, hydrogen fluoride (HF) is of particular concern even at low concentrations. A later plume analysis by Vistra reported that concentrations of HF above California exposure limits could spread across an area 1300 feet in diameter under wind conditions that occur 7 percent of the year. [ 46 ] In Raquette Lake , New York, the town passed a one-year moratorium preventing battery installation in response to protests citing fires at three New York battery installations. Protestors cited a fire in Lyme, New York that burned for four days. [ 46 ] A Megapack ignited at Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG&E's) Moss Landing, California facility in September 2022. The fire led to a day-long shelter-in-place advisory. PG&E stated that safety measures included thermal alarms that can shut down the system, an incident command center, an audible evacuation alarm, pre-fire planning with local fire crews and emergency shut down protocols. Heat-suppression systems, intended to curb thermal runaway, were accidentally triggered, dousing batteries in water that caused arcing and short circuiting. The plant was shut down for months. [ 47 ] Vistra's third installation in Moss Landing adopted the outdoor container model instead of putting the racks under a single roof. (Vistra stated that the outdoor design was chosen to expedite construction.) [ 46 ] [ 48 ] In July 2021, one of the 212 Megapack modules at the Victorian Big Battery project caught fire [ 49 ] due to a coolant leak while the battery was unmonitored. That ignited the adjacent Megapack. [ 37 ] Three days later, the fire had burnt itself out as preferred by the fire department. [ 50 ] [ 51 ] [ 46 ] A 50 MW / 100 MWh battery project using Tesla Megapack 2 was under construction in Bouldercombe near Rockhampton, Queensland. [ 52 ] The alternating current section caught fire in September 2023 and spread to the cells of one Megapack module, also damaging the adjacent module. Both modules are being replaced by Tesla. Other 36 modules were operational a couple of days later. [ 53 ] Tesla Supercharger Station ^ a b Castelvecchi, Davide (May 1, 2015). "Will Tesla's battery change the energy market?" .

Most battery fires cannot be extinguished with water, which is the primary firefighting technique in most communities. A fire in a single cell can cascade to others via [thermal runaway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway "Thermal runaway"), possibly in milliseconds, potentially creating a major hazard.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) Preventing fires involves multiple layers of protection. First, is to prevent fire in a single cell, by eliminating sparks and short circuits. However, grid-scale systems face potential problems such as coolant leaks and faulty installation. Venting flammable gases and improved insulation reduce cascade risks. Placing controls outside of the container gives more management options. Instead of suppressants, monitoring the situation while watering surrounding areas can help contain the fire. Sensors that track local weather conditions can help avoid overheating. Lithium-free designs with lower fire risks are possible.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) "Plume modeling" attempts to predict how gases from burning battery chemicals might travel. The gases produced vary across battery types, [hydrogen fluoride](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_fluoride "Hydrogen fluoride") (HF) is of particular concern even at low concentrations. A later plume analysis by Vistra reported that concentrations of HF above California exposure limits could spread across an area 1300 feet in diameter under wind conditions that occur 7 percent of the year.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) In [Raquette Lake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raquette_Lake "Raquette Lake"), New York, the town passed a one-year moratorium preventing battery installation in response to protests citing fires at three New York battery installations. Protestors cited a fire in [Lyme, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme,_New_York "Lyme, New York") that burned for four days.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) A Megapack ignited at Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG\&E's) Moss Landing, California facility in September 2022. The fire led to a day-long shelter-in-place advisory. PG\&E stated that safety measures included thermal alarms that can shut down the system, an incident command center, an audible evacuation alarm, pre-fire planning with local fire crews and emergency shut down protocols. Heat-suppression systems, intended to curb thermal runaway, were accidentally triggered, dousing batteries in water that caused arcing and short circuiting. The plant was shut down for months.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-47) Vistra's third installation in Moss Landing adopted the outdoor container model instead of putting the racks under a single roof. (Vistra stated that the outdoor design was chosen to expedite construction.)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-48) In July 2021, one of the 212 Megapack modules at the [Victorian Big Battery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_Big_Battery "Victorian Big Battery") project caught fire[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-49) due to a coolant leak while the battery was unmonitored. That ignited the adjacent Megapack.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-vicRenew-37) Three days later, the fire had burnt itself out as preferred by the fire department.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-renewVBB-50)[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-mooraboolfire-51)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) A 50 MW / 100 MWh battery project using Tesla Megapack 2 was under construction in [Bouldercombe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouldercombe "Bouldercombe") near Rockhampton, Queensland.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-52) The [alternating current](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current "Alternating current") section caught fire in September 2023 and spread to the cells of one Megapack module, also damaging the adjacent module.

Megapacks store grid energy rather than generating it from fuel.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-23) In some areas, energy storage has become a requirement to help convert [intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_renewable_energy "Variable renewable energy") into firm power.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-24) Other energy storage solutions, such as [pumped hydroelectric storage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity "Pumped-storage hydroelectricity"), dominate the time-shift market. As of 2019, pumped hydroelectric storage accounted for 96% of global energy storage capacity.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-U.S._Grid_Energy_Storage_Factsheet-25) Pumped hydroelectric storage systems have lower efficiency, but longer lifetimes than battery storage.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-U.S._Grid_Energy_Storage_Factsheet-25) Batteries may be deployed more quickly than other storage technologies.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-26) ### Supercharger stations \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tesla_Megapack&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Supercharger stations")\] [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Tesla_Supercharger_station_with_solar_canopy.webp/330px-Tesla_Supercharger_station_with_solar_canopy.webp.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tesla_Supercharger_station_with_solar_canopy.webp) 3D sketch of [Tesla Supercharger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Supercharger "Tesla Supercharger") station with [solar canopies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_canopy "Solar canopy") and 8 Megapack set for close to 32 [MWh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MWh "MWh") Megapacks have been installed at [Tesla Supercharger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Supercharger "Tesla Supercharger") stations that also have [solar canopies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_canopies "Solar canopies") to help power the Megapacks.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-27) Megapacks can smooth out [electric demand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_demand_management "Energy demand management") on the local power grid and use the stored Megapacks electricity during [peak demand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_demand "Peak demand") so there are not excessive surcharges on electricity to charge the electric vehicles.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-28) To support summer travel Tesla claimed in July 2025 to have connected for the first time a mobile Megapack to a European Supercharger, the [Otočac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oto%C4%8Dac "Otočac") station in [Croatia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia "Croatia").[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-29) In November 2019, Tesla used a Megapack to power a mobile recharging station for Tesla electric vehicles in California.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-Lambert_2019-30) The mobile Supercharger delivered 125 kW, and was transported on a flat trailer attached to a truck between deployment locations.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-Lambert_2019-30) In December 2019, Tesla delivered a 1.25 MW/2.5 MWh Megapack to the [Millidgeville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millidgeville,_New_Brunswick "Millidgeville, New Brunswick") Substation in [Saint John](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_John,_New_Brunswick "Saint John, New Brunswick"), Canada for [peak shaving](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_shaving "Peak shaving").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-31)[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-McCreadie_2019-32) The battery is estimated to save owner Saint John Energy CA\$200,000 per year.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-33) It became operational on April 3, 2020.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-34) The 300 MW/450 MWh [Victorian Big Battery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_Big_Battery "Victorian Big Battery") near [Geelong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geelong "Geelong"), Australia,[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-35) constituted the largest battery in the southern hemisphere at the time.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-36) The [commissioning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_commissioning "Project commissioning") process was halted due to a fire (see "Safety" section), and the lessons learned were applied to other batteries.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-vicRenew-37) The battery was commissioned on time in December 2021, a year after contract,[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-38) with an estimated [return on investment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_on_investment "Return on investment") of 2.4.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-39) In December 2021, Strata Solar, an American commercial solar services provider, deployed a 100 MW/400 MWh energy storage facility in [Ventura County](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventura_County,_California "Ventura County, California"), California, using 142 Megapacks.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-40) The deployment replaced a natural-gas peaker plant.

Grid-scale battery standards and fire containment practices are at an early stage of development.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) Fire risks are one factor that has delayed the deployment of some utility energy storage systems. Most battery fires cannot be extinguished with water, which is the primary firefighting technique in most communities. A fire in a single cell can cascade to others via [thermal runaway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway "Thermal runaway"), possibly in milliseconds, potentially creating a major hazard.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) Preventing fires involves multiple layers of protection. First, is to prevent fire in a single cell, by eliminating sparks and short circuits. However, grid-scale systems face potential problems such as coolant leaks and faulty installation. Venting flammable gases and improved insulation reduce cascade risks. Placing controls outside of the container gives more management options. Instead of suppressants, monitoring the situation while watering surrounding areas can help contain the fire. Sensors that track local weather conditions can help avoid overheating. Lithium-free designs with lower fire risks are possible.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) "Plume modeling" attempts to predict how gases from burning battery chemicals might travel. The gases produced vary across battery types, [hydrogen fluoride](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_fluoride "Hydrogen fluoride") (HF) is of particular concern even at low concentrations. A later plume analysis by Vistra reported that concentrations of HF above California exposure limits could spread across an area 1300 feet in diameter under wind conditions that occur 7 percent of the year.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) In [Raquette Lake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raquette_Lake "Raquette Lake"), New York, the town passed a one-year moratorium preventing battery installation in response to protests citing fires at three New York battery installations. Protestors cited a fire in [Lyme, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme,_New_York "Lyme, New York") that burned for four days.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) A Megapack ignited at Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG\&E's) Moss Landing, California facility in September 2022. The fire led to a day-long shelter-in-place advisory. PG\&E stated that safety measures included thermal alarms that can shut down the system, an incident command center, an audible evacuation alarm, pre-fire planning with local fire crews and emergency shut down protocols. Heat-suppression systems, intended to curb thermal runaway, were accidentally triggered, dousing batteries in water that caused arcing and short circuiting. The plant was shut down for months.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-47) Vistra's third installation in Moss Landing adopted the outdoor container model instead of putting the racks under a single roof. (Vistra stated that the outdoor design was chosen to expedite construction.)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46)[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-48) In July 2021, one of the 212 Megapack modules at the [Victorian Big Battery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_Big_Battery "Victorian Big Battery") project caught fire[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-49) due to a coolant leak while the battery was unmonitored. That ignited the adjacent Megapack.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-vicRenew-37) Three days later, the fire had burnt itself out as preferred by the fire department.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-renewVBB-50)[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-mooraboolfire-51)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-:1-46) A 50 MW / 100 MWh battery project using Tesla Megapack 2 was under construction in [Bouldercombe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouldercombe "Bouldercombe") near Rockhampton, Queensland.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack#cite_note-52) The [alternating current](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current "Alternating current") section caught fire in September 2023 and spread to the cells of one Megapack module, also damaging the adjacent module.
