South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill will commission what is the world’s biggest lithium-ion battery on 1 December. The 100-megawatt battery, which has been built by Tesla, forms part of Weatherill’s $A550 million energy plan, which he put in place following that state’s power problems in 2016. Meanwhile, recent claims by Weatherill that South Australia’s wholesale electricity prices are the lowest of any eastern state have been contradicted by data released by the ASX on 29 November.

South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill says Tesla has finished installing its 100-megawatt battery at Jamestown. The battery is located next to a wind farm, and Weatherill says that testing of the battery will now begin. He says that the battery, which is the biggest of its kind of the world, will be ready in time for the 2017-18 summer. The battery forms an important part of South Australia’s $A530 million energy plan, which it adopted following a statewide power blackout in 2016.
