\nTesla is apparently significantly ramping up its effort to help rebuild the power grid in Puerto Rico after it was destroyed by hurricanes last year.
\nAfter having completed hundreds of energy storage project on the islands in the last few months, Tesla CEO Elon Musk now says that they have \u2018about 11,000\u2019 energy storage projects underway in Puerto Rico, which means something big is in the work.
\nLast month,\u00a0Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company installed batteries at 662 locations in Puerto Rico<\/a>.
\nWe reported that they focused on critical services. For example, Tesla deployed a series of Powerpack systems on the Puerto Rican islands of Vieques and Culebra for\u00a0a sanitary sewer treatment plant, the Arcadia water pumping station, the Ciudad Dorada elderly community, the Susan Centeno hospital, and the Boys and Girls Club of Vieques.<\/a>
\nThe automaker\u2019s energy division also\u00a0deployed a solar+battery system at a hospital in Puerto\u00a0Rico.<\/a>
\nWhile it\u2019s one of the biggest examples of Tesla deploying energy storage systems in a single market, it now sounds like it\u2019s only the beginning as Musk says that there are about 20 times more projects underway in Puerto Rico:
\nAt the very minimum, it would be one Powerwall per project, which would add up to a deployment of at least ~150 MWh of energy capacity.
\nBut that\u2019s just the bare minimum since as we have recently seen, most projects include more than one Powerwall.
\nFor example, we recently reported on a homeowner in Puerto Rico who received a 3-Powerwall installation that helped keep the lights on during the last power outage<\/a>:
\nIt was also recently reported that the\u00a0Puerto Rican government was considering Tesla\u2019s plan for a series of microgrids<\/a>\u00a0throughout the market in order to help bring back power on a larger scale.
\nThose ~11,000 projects could also potentially be part of that larger scale project. We asked Tesla for a comment and we will report back if we get an answer.
\nElectrek\u2019s Take<\/strong>
\nTo me, that smells like a massive virtual power plant made out of Powerwalls at homes all around Puerto Rico.
\nTesla appears to have been focusing on…
