It is probable that since these documents are aged, the sizing of the Megapack has been refined. Per Tesla’s website, each Megapack is described as having 3 MWh of capacity – suggesting 804 MWh of capacity. Each Megapack unit measures approximately 23.5 feet in length, 5.3 feet in depth, and 7.9 feet in height. Documents state approximately 268 Tesla Megapacks will be installed atop 37 concrete slabs. The system layout found in the county documents show the Tesla Megapack locations on the left. Tesla and PG&E hope to break ground on their project within a month, with hopes to complete construction by the end of the year. However, during earnings calls Tesla has communicated that there is a 6 hour option that will seemingly be exercised putting the capacity at 1095 MWh. The Tesla portion, per official documents, is still listed as a 4 hour, 182.5 MW facility – putting its capacity at 730 MWh. Other than the Tesla facility, are three other projects – the 300 MW/1.2 GWh Vistra Energy battery, Hummingbird Energy’s 75 MW/300 MWh facility, and the Micronoc 10 MW/40 MWh facility. The projects, totaling between 567 MW / 2.27-2.655 GWh, are part of a plan to replace the gas facilities located at the Moss Landing power plant located in California’s Central Coast near Monterey. The Monterey County Planning Commission approved the Tesla portion – known as the Elkhorn Battery Storage Facility – of four energy storage projects last week.
