How Tesla Is Quietly Expanding Its Energy Storage Business
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2021
- Elon Musk announced that Tesla was getting into the energy business in 2015 and now it’s betting that it will become increasingly important for the company. In 2020, it surpassed 3 gigawatt hours of energy storage deployments in a single year, largely due to the popularity of Megapack, its utility-scale battery product. CNBC visited PG&E’s Tesla Megapack site in Moss Landing, California and learned why energy storage systems like Tesla’s could be everywhere in a future of renewable power.

How Tesla Is Changing The Electrical Grid
CNBC showing YT how mini documentaries are done! Way to go!
Their a billion dollar company i hope they can produce some good 20 minute videos lol
@@moose5.9 that is true, but you never know.
Just hope they can pull that off
Talking about business crypto is the best investment business in the world
Yes you are making a point
Funny thing is we never see stuff like this in CNBC. Instead we get Gordon Johnson.
He's a megapack of energy.
Exactly. Gordon Johnson is only there to irritate us. We like having a villain to direct our arguments at. If CNBC were aiming for credibility, they would ditch the clown show. Until then, we get to throw verbal tomatoes at GJ.
Gordon Johnson be making comments that really show why Tesla is good but then says its bad
@@GreatUnwashedMass unfortunately microwatts of brain energy
I hate him
But what is this? A good and honest documentary? This was truly unexpected, well done CNBC!
Maybe they hired new intern :P
CNBS turned back into CNBC?!
They actually do a really good for these mini documentaries
Somebody screwed up. Fire him or her!
Why? Just because they are talking about a company thats the current fashion/hype?? Dont follow the flock. And i allways thought the potential of tesla becoming a good boring dividend utility is greater than becoming the iphone of cars
Well researched, well presented, accurate, and didn’t confuse Watts and Watt-hours! Well done CNBC.
Someone is impressed 😂
I was confused, person at 0:30 was NOT speaking English, I have no clue what he was saying....
D He does its “September august (sazar?) are key areas on where we need storage to be able capture it during the day and release during the afternoon to use” probably because of his accent that you cant hear his english well
@@GardenGuy1943 He's got a South African accent, but he is speaking English.
@@NicholasShanks You can reach her through Telegrm
finally a balanced story about Tesla. And please stop inviting Gordon Johnson to your shows. I understand you want to give a voice to Tesla bears (critics) but there are way more credible persons who can fit that role. Gordon Johnson is ranked 4294 out of 4400 analysts and simply lies on air and cannot be trusted.
why are you guys even paying attention to that stooge? It's obvious thats someone is paying him big money to appear on CNBC to be the bear.
@@alexng4 Because its fun to point out all the wrong facts an help prove that our conviction is correct.
@@Jimmy_Jones if you guys enjoy bragging about how right you guys are compared to a complete moron low IQ like Gordon. Thats a pretty low bar to set. Kinda embarrassing actually. LIke stealing candy from a kid and bragging about it.
@@alexng4 LOL, HOW TRUE. Fact: Economically mine-able Lithium deposits will be too high in cost within 25 years to continue mining it. Coming in year 2050 - Lithium = $150.00 per pound. Lithium Power Ends!
CNBC mini documentaries are always simple, informative, and enjoyable. Keep up the good works, and put up more of these.
what shocks me is that cnbc is now on elons side.... not long ago they were very anti elon
check out the channel "Kurzgesagt" also known as "in a nutshell" if you aren't already familiar with it. They make incredibly informative, unbiased, balanced and easy to digest videos on a massive range of things. Would have to be one of the best channels on youtube in my opinion
@@pissiole5654 appreciate it ;)
This is good journalism. great work CNBC!
A clock is right twice a day.
@@phillhuddleston9445 what a stupid reply. .
@@pstha4537 hahaha he knows your right but he just doesnt wanna praise NBC so the clock idiom offers him a way to acknowledge the doco but only a little bit
@@pissiole5654 and yet, he leaves out the most important word...
Analysts on CNBC: Tesla is a overvalued car company.
both can be true but it is ironic lol
Yes tesla is overvaluated
@@alanmay7929 might be, but the premise is wrong.
Have you driven one?
@@alanmay7929 nah
Still CNBC is bearish on Tesla, comparing it with Ford, GM etc..and call up Gordon Johnson in their show to look stupid.
at some point, they will realize what Tesla really is, give em some more Time...
@Paul S boomers won't be sane enough to invest by that time
Meanwhile bulls who didnt listen sit back with retirement packages 😂
One of the few well documented, unbiased pieces from CNBC
C'mon man! Don't you see they are doing a sales pitch for monstrous amounts of borrowed government money. Of course they are telling you it's a perfect miracle with no down side. It's hundreds of future Chernobyl level environmental disasters. Google what happens when they catch FIRE.
@@boxwoodgreen didn't you hear megapacks are self exntinguishable
Especially when it comes to Tesla. Swear to God there is no freaking middle ground. People are either fawning for it or automatically nitpick and hate it.
First time I don't see something negative for Tesla on CNBC... Keep up the good work. Don't be on the side of the shorts 👍
The shorts 😂

"Tesla Energy will be bigger than Tesla automotive"
Telsa will be a juggernaut multi-trillion dollar company. Exciting times to be alive and see history in the making.
"one of the few projects I have ever worked on, where this is going to save customers money"
Oof
Big oof
I love how Tesla represents what should be happening with companies. Innovation brings costs down for both the business and the customers.
Cars costing less instead of more. I’m all for it.
@@rikkygaliendez Tesla's cars are not affordable. On top of that, if innovation caused prices to go down Apple would've been selling the original iPhones for $100, not ripping people off after completely taking over the market.
@@SdoubleA you’re right on Innovation not bringing costs down. I get that. That’s why our form of capitalism is stupid. Tech should help drive things down but that’s not the case.
@@SdoubleA Innovation clearly has caused prices to go down and will continue to do so. This is a fact that isn't deniable. Teslas are definitely affordable, they're actually extremely competitive with ICE vehicles as far as price for performance. Thanks to innovation, they're now able to make a $20k-$25k EV, while continuing to drive prices down. Apple comparison isn't a very good one imo. If you're buying apple you know (at least you should) you're paying more for the eco.
I'm in the Vanadium redox flow battery industry, and I can tell you that lithium is not a viable option for long duration energy storage. Lithium batteries are best suited for short-term storage, because the charge they hold dissipates over time. To store sufficient energy for months or years would require many batteries, which is too expensive to be a feasible option. Flow batteries are a better option for long duration storage. Flow batteries have been proven in the field that they are feasible for long duration storage, thousands of cycles, minimal degradation, and no limitations on depth of discharge.
Spring Power
I want Vanadium flow batteries to work, but LFP Batteries are cheaper than all flow batteries in terms of $/kWh. So far nobody is buying redox flow batteries at massive scale, their market penetration is very low. Certainly, the charge Li ion batteries hold dissipates over time, but it's still cheaper in the long run. How sustainable is Vanadium, how is this sourced? I don't know the answer, but I know Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries have the ability to scale easily. There is no perfect solution, but LFP for grid storage looks more economical.
We should not be against business making money because anyone buying that much have the money to afford it or want to look like it.
We should be careful about money usage. if you're not spending to recover, then stop spending..
I'd rather impress and impact people by creating value to their lives which is the only true and honest path to wealth and abundance.

Bitcoin is struggling to rise again, but am certain that the spike this time around might be taking bitcoin to $100k. This is the best time to invest in Crypto currency

CNBC actually say something good about TSLA?
@@shk4935 Indeed
I wouldn't have taught the dog to do that... I would've just done it myself.
I thought I was very aware of everything Tesla's doing, but this was quite a bit deeper dive into the energy part of Tesla's business than what I knew already. Excellent coverage!
Thanks for the feedback! If you're interested in exploring more about energy storage solutions, you might want to check out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile power station with impressive features like massive capacity, fast recharging, and a waterproof design.

CNBC used to say Tesla was just a car company and now they are waking up. It’s about time lol
But they never said that Hyundai also makes ships, have foundries, very heavy equipments........

Accurate and positive Tesla info from CNBC... There is hope.
When you realise Elon is playing Factorio
I see all the solar panels here on Kaua‘i, but I didn’t know it was Tesla’s. Awesome!
just the storage is my understanding.
Wow, CNBC actually did research... Awesome job guys!
As EV's become widespread, they will also add batteries to the nation's green energy storage system when they are plugged in for charging and discharging (if you only need 50% charge to get to work, the other 50% can go back into the grid when it is needed) at home.
Technology will always win, I'm glad that the world is moving toward removing Carbon footprint though it is still a long way to achieve. But with almost all the big players in the industry got into renewable technology and electric vehicles, there will be fewer obstacles and lobbying against it. We the people will be the one get the most benefit from this.
Yea but large scale batteries defeats the purpose - emissions from making the batteries at such a large scale makes it non-renewable so don't be so short sighted. We have better options of storing grid level power like into water batteries (not an item but a process of storing energy. Must should work on solutions like this.
@@JohnAdams-qc2ju ay idea how long the batteries would need to be in operation to off-set the energy used to manufacture? are we talking a few years? decades?
Thsi is the very great❤️work from CNBC. Well done👍 this channel introduced lot of information in small time 🙏
Really surprised to see so well researched topic about Tesla. Hope to see more!
Great. Did seem to miss storage from supercapacitors and flywheels. But you can only cover so much.
I would expect robust grids in the future to have all of supercapacitors, flywheels, lithium batteries, flow batteries, pumped hydro and maybe some fuel synthesis and storage like hydrogen.
TESLA IS NEXT LEVEL
Uhm nope its not.
Yes it is.
@@DanielDuese Alan has been talking trash everywhere about tesla. Just a salty cnt who probably invested in those scams like Nicola and Lucid or he shorted Tesla. Why do people think its normal to talk down a company just because youre invested in its "competitors"? Its such a toxic thing to do.
Elon Musk always had the vision for Tesla to help transition to clean energy. That should be applauded.
@@lw8672 there many people and companies doing great work in that direction but not with big mouth and scaamy products
One of your best CNBC, well done
If one Elon can change so much of EV, space, and energy, imagine a few more Elons can do to change and fix the world.

@Ahad Ahad That comment was from a year ago man. things changed a lot.
Wow great video and journalism, didn't expect that.
I do love the system . I'm currently working on one. But need an easy simplification ! The connection between the Megapack and Transformer.
Surprised to see this kind of fact-based report by CNBC instead of Gordon Genious Johnson. 🤣
I have no idea who that is, nor do I care, but you can't even spell genius properly, "Genious".
If this brings me closer to living more comfortly off grid then I'm all for it
Part of the problem is the fact that the technology is advancing so rapidly. A lot of people are waiting for the cost to drop even more before investing. The problem with that is we may not have the time to waste.
I almost gave up on CNBC reportage always very adverse to Tesla, even when by sensible judgement something good should have been said or written. Same for your hand picked hosts specifically chosen because of known antagonists and predatory short specialists hell bent to destroy Tesla. I hope this is the very first reportage of many to follow, not to necessarily promote Tesla business, but to fairly present true unbiased reporting. On the other hand you have no choice unless you desire to go the way of CNN with a vertical loss of viewers, well on the way to belly up alley, because of their well known Fake News reporting. But People, the vast majority are not as dumb as CNN political anti American reporting presumed, and are and will be heavily punished, by the people they tried to misinform. Thanks CNBC this is the only route worth following and the vast majority of viewers will reward you for your integrity and decent reporting, which it is by far a much better alternative than being hated. In case you have missed what Tesla is all about, his cars are under every parameter of comparison with other EV producers, the very best in the market. But please do some reporting and let the world know why their cars are of such an high degree of efficiency, reliability and convenience, which are the reasons why they are the EV world sales leaders.
This reminded me of the movie “TRANSCENDENT” where they are quietly building there own place lol
Btw Musk does a cameo in that movie
Do not start using H2 for storage - you loos too much energy during the transition ! The Grid-scale Batteries is really the way to go!
tesla is unbelievably great at engineering. Their home backup is fantastic so I bet this mega pack is a city saver.
@Bob Bottoms Thats true of every product in existence, so not sure what you are adding? When the vast majority of customers are happy, the company does well.
(CNBC) On point I love the timeframe well done;
That's the way to go @ CNBC well done thank you so much for sharing the very interesting beautiful video👍👍😀😀❤️❤️🌹🌹🌟🌟
LFP will be more viable for large power systems.
Thank you for this story.. this is truly an exciting time!
Does someone know if these Batteryplants make use of Giant Transistors? They are able to hold huge amounts of electric current pretty efficiently as long theres a Powersource connected to it to keep it stable
All of this is a critical 50 + years behind public / environmental demand , so how do we hold those responsible for dragging our collective feet accountable??
Well done CNBC! This transformation into renewable energy needs to happen now, not in 10 years.
We may have 10 years of more pollution and waste... just maybe not
No advertisement needed. Go Tesla💪🏾
Pennsylvania could use those with our solor panel energy-efficient
which one did you use? Thanks
The CNBC logo is a peacock
Nice Tesla coverage CNBC! Nailed another mini documentary 🙌🏼🌍⚡️
Wow, an honest down to earth well researched documentary... amazing work by this CNBC team.
Only thing missing is some mentions to other competitors to Tesla but that's just a nitpick.
They did 5 minutes in
Excellent documentary!
Really good, well researched, and great journalism!
I think the grid as a concept is outdated. We should be moving toward decentralized power sharing networks instead, where every house has solar/wind/batteries and shares power with everyone around them.
The grid is a decentralized power sharing network.
In many countries, power producers, energy storage companies, and retail utility companies in the grid buy and sell power automatically at market rate through their power grid.
The grid were originally built with utility power producers because the technology involved in most forms of power generation massively benefit from economy of scale. Producing power using home scale diesel/steam engines simply weren't economically or environmentally competitive to the large steam turbines they had on utility scale power plants. With renewables, that changed a bit, and home generation can be competitive, and in some countries it's now possible for home owners with solar panels to own a home device that can allow them to automatically buy and sell their excess power generation to the grid at market price, just like the large scale utilities have always been able to.
OMG I was pretty sure that CNBS was working really well with Big Oil and the Auto Industry to stop Tesla, and they put this out. Ok, trying to see whether they showcase something sub-par alongside it to throw em down the well... I’m pretty amazed by this non-FUD vid going on here
Yeah it takes one video to flip your script, what’s wrong with you people?
No. Now our propaganda media push so called “renewables”
Good doc, well researched and presented. Tesla is really getting a choke hold on the electric business with cars and batteries. But in case anybody thinks that this is a clean source of energy consider the chemical waste that will ensue after the batteries are depleted. Effective recycling is the only way to get this industry going in a sustainable manner. Lithium batteries obviously will be replaced by other types as the supply of the raw material is already limited.
Licycle // PDAC
Your welcome ;)
Look it up btw lol
That is why Straubel spun off. Google is your friend.
Battery recycling is actually something a former tesla exec left to start a company for. They now recycle tons of batteries and get about 95% of the raw resources back:) people thought about that problem, and already made a solution!
Ahh yes.. “Quietly” as they build the largest building on earth over in Austin
They aren't talking about the Austin Gigafactory. They are talking about the "Gambit Energy" storage site. Gambit Energy is a subsidiary of Tesla that seems to have been created for the sole purpose of not bringing attention to the fact that Tesla is deploying grid storage themselves rather than selling it as a product to Electric companies. In other words, they Tesla may be planning on competing with the energy industry directly.
Elon’s one chill villain.
@@CL-gq3no Giga Texas will contain one of the largest battery manufacturing plants on earth so it's quite relevant to the story. KCJbomberFTW makes a good point, if they think Tesla are doing it quietly they just aren't paying attention. Have they not noticed more of those huge plants underway in Fremont, Shanghai and Berlin?
BTW Tesla definitely intend becoming a major power utility and they haven't been quiet about that either.
@@CL-gq3no Wouldn't be hard to compete with Texas power companies, they seem to be useless.
@@earthwizz, I'm well aware of all that, but that isn't what she was referring to when she mentioned Tesla quietly entering the energy business in Texas. She was talking about Gambit Energy. They showed a picture of it at that moment. If she had said Tesla is quietly entering the battery/auto manufacturing market in Texas then OP's comment would make sense.
Tesla isn't installing Megapacks under the name "Gambit Energy" for no reason. They are obviously trying to fly under the radar in that market. I for one am very excited about that. It's a huge market and the status quo energy companies can't be trusted to pass savings onto customers or to reinvest the savings into more renewable energy, especially in Texas.
Tesla energy is going to dominate the energy storage market - such a massive head start. Already seeing battery storage playing a bigger part here in Australia 🇦🇺
you think australia will go with tesla rather than focusing on domestic providers?
@@benlarson8015 yes - I’ve been involved with tenders in the energy industry here and Tesla come out on top plus there’s no local companies making energy storage batteries at this scale. Just need our stupid government to incentivise renewables 🙄
@@SageFinance tesla batteries packs are just sony or panasonic batteries. giving that information soon enough the will be outperformed because tesla uses their energy sector as just a marketing tool rather than anything.
@@SageFinance I was going to say we wont get anywhere without incentives. And with the EV tax in Victoria and the federal govt still propping up natural gas and coal it seems to be a long way off.
@@JohnDoe-vf3qo They’re Panasonic, LG Chem and CATL batteries, and those companies can only expand their supply so fast with raw battery material supply of lithium, nickel and copper about to be constrained due to exploding demand, but the existing mines can only produce so much **AND** before we get ahead of ourselves, it takes years for new mines to come on line and start producing at high volume. Tesla already has the supply contracts locked in **and is building its own new battery design in-house at three new battery factories that will not be Panasonic or LG Chem. You heard right, Tesla is becoming a battery brand of its own producing its own proprietary cell called the tabless dry battery electrode 4680 cell. The game has changed. Within 18 months from now Tesla’s factories will be spitting out its own battery product at scale and will match the output of its current suppliers at Panasonic and LG Chem. This is an advantage that no other electric vehicle company has.
I was thinking about the power pack system and solar arrays tied to disaster relief. Would it be a stretch to build a tanker essentially, except you have a mass power pack system and the ability to stretch out wide arrays in a row to create power? That would be some insane engineering.
Sure it's wise to invest in BTC right now than it was months ago. But you have hold one simple rule "Buy low sell high" if you're in to make profits as an investor.

Wow!
You are brilliant. A floating wind and solar farm floated to area needing. Or country build one and sail it off as hurricane approaches. Call your leaders. 💯
I know this was specifically about Tesla, but for those interested in the storage options mentioned at 18:35, CNBC had two videos last year about alternate energy storage solutions, like compressed air, compressed liquid hydrogen, pump storage, etc. I honestly think those show much more promise as the rare materials required for chemical batteries become scarcer.
Energy storage: th-cam.com/video/4KJE3POgWSc/w-d-xo.html
Non Li-ion batteries: th-cam.com/video/EoTVtB-cSps/w-d-xo.html
Even if Tesla is making batteries bigger and heavier with different materials, it wont be a problem for stationary megapacks unlike it is for their cars, Tesla has a great potential for reusability and sustainable energy storage.
If you still think that Tesla is a car company by this point... I really don't know what to say to you, to help you understand. They are quite literally a car manufacturer, an energy company, a software company and so much more.
They'll likely be the world's first $5 Trillion market cap company.
If you don't own TSLA stock by now, you better get some, and more,, and more... and HOLD.
Let's pump it to 15 tril by 2030
Just wait till they issue more shares
They are an “ETF”
@@jonathanao6567 No they're not an ETF. Tesla is just one company, and not diversified in the same sense that an ETF would be. If you're invested only in Tesla, Musk could be sending one weird overnight tweet and their stock prices will go haywire and wipe out your entire investment portfolio.
What they are is a conglomerate: "a corporation that is made of a number of different, sometimes unrelated businesses".
They're not unique to diversify their business in this respect, there are many bigger, more diversified conglomerates that you probably already heard of. Samsung, for example, you most likely know about them as mobile phone and electronic manufacturers, but the conglomerate also runs life insurance, ship building, constructions, theme parks, hotels and resorts, biopharmaceutical, etc.
Tesla is comparatively much less diversified than many of these other more veteran conglomerates. Moreover, a very large part of Tesla's businesses are centred around batteries, particularly lithium batteries, which means that they're vulnerable to disruptions in that sector.
They can’t even profit selling cars yet. They’re extremely overvalued
Why dont they also put potted peace lilies under solar panels?
I have a small dairy farm and wanted to use battery storage instead of generators during a power outage. I'd be using from 6-12KW/hour. I could even reduce it to 3KW/hour if necessary. 2-3 hours storage would be fine. However, our solar and battery providers are saying they wouldn't recommend it. I can't find any info on the internet about a battery backup system for farms or small business, has anyone else come across a solution like this?
It wasn't expanding "quietly" for anyone following Tesla throughout the years.
Finally! Great journalism! This matters!
So when are we going to do pumped hydro between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario so as to no affect the existing hydro there and modify the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) to do variable output with more generators instead of doing base load with it as well as effectively eliminating the use of spillways granted they would still be there for safety reasons? The Lake Erie and Lake Ontario pumped system could be scaled into the 100 GW range granted we got into long distance high capacity superconducting power lines, but in the short term maybe do a couple dozen GW of storage and the BPA modification could scale to be like adding 20 GW of batteries to the grid all while being rather cheap to implement both of these solutions, especially considering what they would be putting out. In total adding over 40 GWs of storage like this to the grid, one in the Great Lakes area supporting the Eastern grid and one in the Northwest supporting the Western grid would be a huge boon to our renewable future. Batteries are great, but they do come at a cost and so we need to do these other obvious solutions that have been sitting right in front of us when we can.
Good topic to discuss now. I should also hop on this and maybe look at batteries 🔋 or solar panels und ther microscope.
Wish you all a good week!
Huge spike at the end of the trading hours $TSLA
Biden tax credit
every stock spiked…
Another reason I continue to buy Tesla stock. Between their takeover of the Auto Business to their takeover of the Peaker Plant business, the stock will eventually be worth THOUSANDS.
Lithium mining should have been mentioned somewhere in there.
With that being said I just installed a 15kwh lipo setup in my "tiny home" and Im excited for the future.
Lithium-ion batteries are applicable in a pretty narrow scope for grid scale storage. Li-ions biggest benefit is high energy density. When we're building huge energy facilities outside, usually in rural areas, the form factor benefit is null. We can sacrifice energy density and use cheaper materials.
Tony Seba
Everyone needs to quit sleeping on the energy side. Everyone looking to much into the car side. Jump in the stock now, more big investors wont hop in until its taking off.
Couldnt they save the energy during low rate hours and sell it back during peak hours to maximize profits.

So it took CNBC 5 years to finally learn what I knew about Tesla when I was living in Nigeria.
Pathetic, but better late than never I guess.
The last little vid here... is Moss Landing, Ca
Goodness ... no GJ crap, rather a thoughtful documentary. Well done to the reporter ...
Thank you for the fair piece on tesla
CNBC, this feels like an advertisement for Tesla, nothing more.
Storage is great but the fact that the power goes out over the same above ground grid means during storms or in CA fire warnings the power will still go out.
17:23 That’s what China noticed several years ago and started lowering cost to a level that many US based Rare Earth miners couldn’t sustain. However recently some companies are starting to dig more into the Rare earth besides China , (even though they have some dependency to China for refinery requirements). MP Material is one of the major player in the US and Lynas Rare Earth in Australia (someone correct me if I’m wrong about Lynas Mining Company’s dependency on China).

Luckily, Elon Musk does not equal Tesla. He is the CEO now but won’t be forever. His non Tesla tweets should not be associated with Tesla.
To be fair elon musk is so high profile that he is damned if he does say something and damned if he doesn't. He said something about an alternate currency then got backlash for it then he changed his tweet and retracted it then got more backlash. And he gets accused of undermining tesla or running afoul of the SEC for every little thing. So I think he is misunderstood

what is not brought up... how many rare resources are used and the quantity of petroleum products required to recover, refine and implement the rare resources for the eventual use in renewable energy products. don't turn off the gas until you are 100% switched to renewables.
Pumped hydro with solar installations makes sense in a lot of places
That's the best way. Battery grid storage should be banned.

Decent documentary but am wondering if they did this deep a dive in energy storage and Tesla then why did they miss the fact that Tesla is now a licensed Utility Company in Texas with applications pending in all other states? Instead of being a parts supplier, they have the vision of become THE GRID, and owning the solar plants, the storage facility, AND supplying power to their customers...So with that you have Tesla being the dominate car company with self driving taxis that operate cheaper than car ownership, truck company with self driving, ( Do you realize that Walmart is currently the largest trucking company in the United States but with Tesla self driving trucks they could cut their costs and liabilities and have Tesla company trucks do the main bulk of order transportation ??) , and a utility company. Then add in Starlink, a neurolink medical company?
Well researched, well presented, accurate, and didn’t confuse Watts and Watt-hours! Well done CNBC. But what is this? A good and honest documentary? This was truly unexpected, well done CNBC!
Thanks for your feedback. To take advantage

15:18 utility guy saying " one of the only projects that really save money for customer" 😂😂😂😂. Means that Utility companies just use the government funding but in reality cost savings are not that great for many projects.
Not really. He is saying that most new energy projects cost money to operate and those costs have to be passed on to consumers. This is especially true of fossil fuels because it is based on non-stop consumption. Tesla's grid battery storage is one of the rare products that actually pays for itself (within a couple of years in some large scale installs) because it allows energy to be captured that would otherwise be wasted. It also makes peaker plants obsolete which are very inefficient and expensive.
You must have missed the part where the guy in Australia said it saved the power company 30 million.
@@CL-gq3no power is generated as its demanded. So there's no such thing as non stop consumption. If there's no need for power the power generation unit isn't used. The batteries just give them more flexibility for sudden surges and natural disasters
@@HH-le1vi, That is only true for fossil fuel power generation. Renewables generate power when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining even. While these grid battery storage systems CAN be used to smooth out fossil fuel sources with demand, they really shine for capturing the full potential of renewable energy sources that would otherwise be wasted because they don't align with demand. This allows more fossil fuel energy to be offset somewhere else on the grid.
Also, when I say that fossil fuel energy is based on "constant consumption," I don't mean they consume at a constant rate. What I mean is those systems CONSUME a finite resource to make energy whereas renewables use resources to PRODUCE a product that in turn generates energy. Consumption based processes get more expensive over time. Production based processes get cheaper as production is scaled up. The point being that fossil fuels are now more expensive than renewables for new energy installs. For all of those reasons grid battery storage can pay for itself pretty quickly.
