The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) Electric cars need lots of batteries, laptops need lots of batteries.

The system now has 50 MW of power and 100 MWh of capacity and supports the local grid. Tesla noted that the Deux-Acren project, which installed the Megapacks, is now one of the largest storage systems in Europe. A pioneer in energy storage in France, Corsica Sole has been operating this type of plant in the French islands since 2015.
