This project is the first of its kind in Qatar to integrate 500 kiloWatt-hours (kWh) of energy storage with the electricity grid, solar power and back-up diesel generators, providing both on-grid and off-grid operation with black start, Voltage (VAR) and Frequency regulation.
Now Tesla deployed Powerpack batteries at the country’s first solar and storage project. The Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) described it as “a pilot project to store electrical energy using batteries”:
Qatar recently green-lit a big 800 MW solar project and it is deploying solar power at a faster pace. Tesla is also accelerating energy storage deployment with more than 400 MWh being deployed every quarter. The company also has a significant backlog of large energy storage projects using its more recent Megapack.
Qatar is rich in oil and natural gas, but it has adopted a ‘don’t get high on your own supply’ policy since 2017 and started diversifying with solar. Now Tesla deployed Powerpack batteries at the country’s first solar and storage project.
Tesla is also accelerating energy storage deployment with more than 400 MWh being deployed every quarter. The company also has a significant backlog of large energy storage projects using its more recent Megapack. This is a rare new deployment of Tesla’s Powerpack, which is used for smaller commercial and utility projects.
