To regulate this entire five point two gigawatt array, the project needed nineteen gigawatt hours of storage.
That's the most storage for any project in the world.
In phase one, another Chinese Titan, Sun Gro, locked down a seven point five gigawatt hour contract.
BD has now secured the remaining 11.275 gigawatt hour allocation.
Give you some interesting context here or some interesting information.
Tesla is now using Sun Grow lithium ion phosphate batteries in their base model EVs, base model standard model Y and Model Three.
So anyway, getting back to this story, do the math.
That is a total of nineteen gigawatt hours.
Combined.
These two Chinese companies have completely locked out every single global competitor from the entire project.
Obviously Tesla Mag Tesla Mega Packs, uh Fluence, European supplies, Cadle, none of them got to look in.
Yeah, of course, it's price is a a huge factor here and Tesla is never the cheapest, so you can see why.
For the engineering minds that are watching this, how is BOD actually pulling this off at scale?
It comes down to hardware integration.
But first of all, you might be thinking to yourself,
Um, how is BWED going to supply these batteries when they're having problems supplying their own cars with enough batteries?
And that is true.
Even B O D admitted to that fact.
Well, the reason is because this contract is not for the new blade battery version two.
It's for the existing generation, the old generation ability blade battery version one.
