A project using giant Tesla Inc batteries was used to help balance supply and demand in Britain’s electricity market for the first time this week.

The plant is made up of six Tesla megapack batteries that can store energy from renewable sources to be used at times of peak consumption. Britain's National Grid Electricity System Operator uses the balancing market to fine tune supply and demand to make sure they match exactly.
