Summary
- Apollo Power of Taiwan reportedly signed a deal on October 8 to buy 260 Megapack 2XL units (about 1 GWh) from Tesla's Taiwan arm.
- Deliveries are said to run in stages through the end of 2027, with sites starting operation in 2028.
- Stated uses: on-site storage for businesses, grid-resilience projects, and energy services for AI data centers.
What happened
According to reports (such as TeslaNorth), Apollo Power signed the contract on October 8 and disclosed it through the Taiwan Stock Exchange system on October 11. The order is 260 Megapack 2XL units, about 1 GWh (gigawatt-hour) in total.
Deliveries come in batches through the end of 2027. Operation is planned for 2028, if delivery, construction, grid connection and acceptance go smoothly.
The price has not been published in the reports (a confidentiality agreement is said to exist). Some outlets print a figure, but it cannot be confirmed, so this article does not use it.
What is a Megapack?
A Megapack is a container-sized battery system made by Tesla. It stores electricity and releases it when needed. Roughly, 1 GWh can supply 1 billion watts (1,000 MW) for one hour.
For example, solar plants can make more power at noon than is used. Storing it and using it at night wastes less. A battery also serves as backup during outages.
Why link it to AI data centers?
Data centers for AI use a lot of power. Pulling a large amount suddenly from the grid strains it. Batteries can smooth out the swings and act as backup. Apollo Power is reported to describe the order as tied to its data-center energy business.
Apollo Power also reportedly said the equipment purchase is not revenue, and that its partners have not placed firm orders with it.
