7.5 MW? Great Scott!

How much did they cost then?
Add in the diesel generator farms sat idling around the country and I do wonder if anybody's though all this through...

Well, Tesla obviosly. There is about a daily 10p range in electricity prices in UK. If they use autobidder to buy low and sell high, this battery will pay for itself in less than a year for them.

Expect to see many more popping up.

Holes Bay (Tesla based) is a mere tidler, compared to other big batteries in the pipeline...

Intergen have plans for 700 MWh at Spalding Energy Park and 1.3 GWh at London Gateway Port, both using lithium ion chemistry, although they don’t say whether it’s Tesla’s.
