minus-squarezero_gravitaslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months ago New SA battery storage project approved near Mount Gambier will be three times the size of ‘Tesla battery’ Pacific Green says the Limestone Coast Energy Park, which will have a capacity of 1,500 megawatt hours … The latter battery, colloquially known as the “Tesla battery”, can store up to 193 megawatt hours (MWh) and was once the world’s biggest. 1500 / 193 = 7.77 So while that is ‘more than three’, why doesn’t it say ‘more than seven’? Am I missing something? When they say ‘size’ do they not mean capacity?
