The oil super major will team up with the world’s largest battery storage company to build a pilot project alongside its Titan wind project in the US state of South Dakota.

The 25MW wind farm, which is relatively small by British standards, will top up the stored electricity in a Tesla battery with an energy capacity of 840 kilowatt hours capable of producing 212 kilowatts of power.

BP has over 13 wind farms in the US with a total capacity of around 2.26GW, making it one of the largest renewable energy businesses of any major oil and gas group.)
