In October, the storage facility that uses Tesla Powerpack technology was energized. The construction of the storage system was executed in two phases, with a total cost of AUD38 million (US$25.8 million). The project has received AUD 10 million (USD 6.8 million) from the South Australia state government and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
