Tesla Looks to Sell Australian Virtual Power Plant, But Wants to Keep Supplying Batteries and Software

Tesla is seeking bids for its pioneering Virtual Power Plant (VPP) in South Australia. This network of around 7,000 household batteries plays a crucial role in the state's renewable energy grid, helping meet demand peaks and providing essential system services. As the first of its kind in Australia, the VPP still stands as the largest in the country, according to Tesla, despite claims from competitors like AGL and Origin Energy.
