"At an event in Las Vegas yesterday, Tesla revealed a new utility-scale battery configuration that it claims can significantly lower construction costs for utilities, along with faster installation. Its new "Megablock" is pre-engineered; more assembly done in a factory allows for 23 percent faster installation, according to Tesla. That's supposed to translate to up to 40 percent lower construction costs."
"It's essentially supposed to be a plug-and-play platform, incorporating hardware and software services, to help utilities quickly meet rising electricity demands from data centers, electrified homes and vehicles, and manufacturing. The Megablock incorporates Megapack 3, the latest iteration of Tesla's battery storage system that the company also debuted at the same event. The latest Megapack has a "drastically simplified" thermal bay with 78 percent fewer connections to minimize failure points, Tesla said at the event and on X,"
Tesla introduced a pre-engineered Megablock, a plug-and-play utility-scale battery platform that combines hardware and software services to accelerate utility deployments. Factory assembly reduces site work, enabling 23 percent faster installation and claiming up to 40 percent lower construction costs for projects. The Megablock integrates Megapack 3, which features a drastically simplified thermal bay with 78 percent fewer connections to reduce failure points and a more powerful heat pump design. Megapack 3 will be manufactured in Houston starting late next year. Tesla continues to source battery cells from suppliers BYD and CATL.
