    New SA battery storage project approved near Mount Gambier will be three times the size of ‘Tesla battery’

    Pacific Green says the Limestone Coast Energy Park, which will have a capacity of 1,500 megawatt hours …

    The latter battery, colloquially known as the “Tesla battery”, can store up to 193 megawatt hours (MWh) and was once the world’s biggest.

    1500 / 193 = 7.77

    So while that is ‘more than three’, why doesn’t it say ‘more than seven’? Am I missing something? When they say ‘size’ do they not mean capacity?

      Windows was down yesterday, so nobody could use Excel to do that calculation. So they just had a guess it was more than three.

      But honestly, idk. Maybe they were comparing the physical area? Which seems the most useless comparison…

        Yeah, that’s all I can think of too, but they didn’t mention it anywhere in the article.
