...Source: https://driveteslacanada.ca/?p=111406 Transcript: Tesla Drive Canada is reporting that a major Tesla Megapack project in Japan has just gone live. The Helios Battery Energy Storage System, located in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, is now fully operational. The system uses Tesla’s Megapack 2XL technology and offers 50MW of output with 104 megawatt-hours of storage—making it one of Japan’s largest standalone installations this year.

The project cost around $30 million and is a collaboration between Manoa Energy, Brawn, and HD Renewable Energy Japan. It’s also Manoa’s first Extra High Voltage installation to reach commercial status. Helios will operate as a merchant system, selling power into Japan’s wholesale electricity market while also providing grid balancing and capacity support.

Construction began in April 2024, and the project is part of a broader pipeline Brawn is developing, targeting an additional gigawatt of storage projects in Japan between 2026 and 2030. As Japan accelerates its transition to renewable energy, especially in northern regions like Hokkaido, large-scale storage like Tesla’s Megapack 2XL is becoming an increasingly important tool for grid reliability.
