As I remember well, one month ago, the state of South Australia has announced plans to equip at least 50,000 homes with solar panels and Tesla (TSLA) battery storage units, connecting them all to the electricity grid to form the world's largest "virtual power plant". They are so serious and ambitious

How much is Australia giving Elon Musk in subsidies?

This is the future. SA now the energy innovation state. Just wait for the coal industry’s attack!

Why doesn't government of SA build the battery packs in SA instead of buying them from Tesla? The battery technology is not owned by Tesla.

This particular battery technology is Tesla's, otherwise they would have built it themselves. They haven't learned their lessons, I see. Forgot the outages very quickly. Let's see how it goes.

I found South Australia now leads the world in overall solar power generation and is second only to Denmark in wind generation.

Yes. The sunshine state SA....

I think many of SA citizens are really disappointed with prices of electricity power. South Australia, a state with abundant sun and natural resources, has the most expensive electricity in the world. So, each medal has two sides.
