\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, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company installed batteries at 662 locations in Puerto Rico.
\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 a 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.
\nThe automaker\u2019s energy division also deployed a solar+battery system at a hospital in Puerto Rico.
\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.
