Tesla Says Gas Generators No Longer Make Sense
Posted On: February 17, 2022

In a submission to the Australian Energy Operator’s 2022 Integrated System Plan, Tesla noted that gas generators are "no longer rational" as battery storage systems become cheaper and smarter.


Tesla described their battery technology as the new "clean peaker" and outlined its superior flexibility and multiple grid service operations.


Tesla also detailed their Megapack’s ability to deliver longer duration storage in case of substantial outages.


As per the submission, Tesla disagreed with the Australian Energy Operator’s forecast. This forecast included a need for 9GW of gas peaking plants, according to a report by Renew Economy.


However, when compared to fossil fuels, Tesla battery technology is cheaper and faster.


As per the submission, Tesla showcases how battery technology is a better solution for Australia than fossil fuel generators.


Tesla wants the Australian Energy Operator to take great stock of the capabilities of grid forming inverters as it would allow batteries to take over the service provided by fossil fuel generators.

My Take: The old gas fired peaker plants days are numbered.
