Tesla to Supply Megapacks for 200MW Solar Farm in Mojave Desert
Posted On: March 1, 2022

Tesla will be supplying their Megapack energy storage systems for an upcoming solar farm in California’s Mojave Desert.


The Megapacks will be part of the Eland Solar and Storage Center, a 2652 acre solar farm and energy storage project planned for 6000 Phillips Road in Kern County, about 70 miles north of Los Angeles.


The project will feature two large scale solar facilities that will capture 400 megawatts of solar energy and include a 300MW / 1200MWh energy storage facility.


Recent permits posted to Kern County’s website indicate the first phase of the project to build a 200MW ground mounted solar system is about to begin construction.


The Eland Solar and Storage Center was approved in 2019, with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti saying it will provide enough renewable energy to power 283,330 homes across the city.


The first phase of the project is expected to be commissioned later this year, and when complete will be one of the largest solar and storage projects in the US.

My Take: Tesla's energy business is an unappreciated asset for sure. It will keep creeping up there and become something huge.
