Is Tesla planning to enter the UK as an energy supplier?
There is currently speculation about Tesla's entry as an energy supplier in Great Britain.
Tesla has in the UK for a license as an energy supplier is investigated. This would not be the first step towards energy suppliers, Tesla finally supplied in Australia with the biggest battery in the world already has 30,000 people with energy.
Tesla is looking for new business areas
Tesla is probably the best-known automaker in the field of fully electric vehicles. The company, led by Elon Musk, has developed steadily over the past few years, forcing the automotive industry to rethink. Nevertheless, Tesla is still struggling with high costs and obstacles and therefore the company is looking for additional sources of income. And since Tesla has a great deal of know-how in the field of battery production, it is hardly surprising that Tesla will soon take off as an energy supplier. Allegedly Tesla now has an energy supplier license in the UK applied for.
Tesla already supplies over 30,000 households with energy in Australia
This would not be Tesla's first step towards becoming an energy supplier, after all, in 2017, the supposedly best and largest lithium battery was built in Australia. The Hornsdale PowerPack installation in the south of the country supplies more than 30,000 households with electricity. At the moment, one can only speculate about Tesla's exact involvement in Great Britain. Tesla already has some smaller battery units on the island, but these are not comparable to the Hornsdale PowerPack installation in Australia. The technology could be useful in Great Britain, after all, the country draws almost 40 percent of its energy through renewable energy. The wind and solar energy, however, are highly dependent on the weather and therefore supply holes could be plugged with the lithium batteries. Tesla is already working with Octopus Energie in the UK to offer owners of Tesla vehicles and solar energy a cheaper tariff.
Tesla wants to make Autobidder platform better known
There is also speculation that Tesla wants to push the new Autobidder platform with its entry into Great Britain. This platform can be used to optimize power plants, including the generation and distribution of energy . Energy providers can buy and trade. they can use Autobidder . The platform relies on machine learning. Further information on Tesla's UK plans will probably become known soon, but the move towards becoming an energy supplier seems realistic.
