A Tesla Megapack battery system has officially turned on to replace Hawaii’s very last coal power plant. In early 2022, we reported that Tesla is deploying Megapacks at a new energy storage project that will replace Hawaii’s last remaining coal plant. It will enable better use of the state’s increasing renewable energy.
