Palo Alto, CA – Tesla’s energy storage division has reached a major milestone in Europe by deploying 1 GWh of its Powerwall home battery systems. This achievement highlights the rapid growth of Tesla’s energy storage business, which first launched the Powerwall in 2015.
The news was shared by Tesla’s European Twitter account, noting that 1 GWh of storage is enough to power 41,000 average European homes for half a day. This is particularly notable given the Powerwall’s limited availability in Europe and lack of a 3-phase option for broader compatibility.
Even with these limitations, the launch of the Powerwall 3 and Powerwall 3+ suggests Tesla is continuing efforts to expand in the European market. Details remain scarce on these new products and whether a 3-phase variant is coming, but the 1 GWh deployment provides a strong base.
Looking ahead, Tesla may leverage its deployed Powerwalls in Europe to introduce more advanced energy services. This could include virtual power plants to aid grid stability and Tesla Electric retail plans to transform household energy use. These initiatives would further Tesla’s vision of accelerating sustainable energy, complementing its electric vehicle and solar offerings.
With 1 GWh now deployed, Tesla energy storage is poised for further growth in Europe. The company appears committed to increased market penetration, evidenced by continued Powerwall innovation and planned energy services. As Tesla’s presence expands, Europe could serve as a blueprint for energy storage adoption worldwide.
