SpaceX plans to deploy up to 12 Tesla Megapacks at its new Starship launch site at Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) within NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These Megapacks will provide up to 24 MW of power generation capacity with 48 MWh of energy storage to support the facility’s operations. The site is expected to handle up to 44 launches and 88 landings annually, split evenly between Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, alongside infrastructure upgrades including a new launch mount and propellant facilities. Separately, Tesla has secured a $2.7 billion Megapack order from Georgia Power, comprising 3,022 MW (3 GW) of battery storage capacity across 10 battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities on eight sites in Georgia. These Megapacks feature a four-hour duration and are designed to power over two million homes. Despite a recent downbeat performance in Tesla’s energy segment, the large Georgia Power contract highlights the accelerating demand for utility-scale energy storage solutions, positioning Tesla Energy as a key player in this market.
Tesla Energy is the Big Chongus for $TSLA https://t.co/BYqLypulZG
Even though $TSLA was downbeat on its energy segment last quarter, many are underestimating how fast this business could accelerate as utility-scale storage demand ramps. The recent $2.7B Megapack deal underscores Tesla’s positioning, while $EOSE offers an emerging alternative https://t.co/X0P5yi82Pb
