Reputation Matters.

Tesla is chosen to build another big battery in Australia after the first one proves impressive

Tesla's Powerpack project at a wind farm in South Australia garnered a lot of attention in media - mainly because of Elon Musk's bet for Tesla to bring it online in "100 days or it will be free" and the fact that it became the most powerful battery system in the world.

From article, (Tesla’s Powerpack project at a wind farm in South Australia garnered a lot of attention in media – mainly because of Elon Musk’s bet for Tesla to bring it online in “100 days or it will be free” and the fact that it became the most powerful battery system in the world.
But now that it is deployed, those things don’t matter much and the battery system is instead impressing with its capacity, like when it reacted within milliseconds when an Australian coal power plant removed itself from the power grid last month.
The successful use of the Powerpack system apparently inspired the neighboring state of Victoria to also choose Tesla for the deployment of another massive battery system.

AFR reported today that Tesla was picked to build a 20 MW battery system to support their 204 MW wind farm at the Bulgana Green Power Hub in Western Victoria.
We are talking about a less powerful battery system than the one in South Australia, but it should still end up being one of Tesla’s biggest projects to date.)
