According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla's energy storage segment is set for significant expansion with a third Megapack factory opening near Houston in late 2026, offering an annual production capacity of 50GWh for the new Megapack 3/Megablock product (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter). This expansion underlines Tesla's commitment to integrating AI-driven energy management systems, which optimize grid storage, load balancing, and real-time analytics for utilities and large-scale energy users. The new factory is poised to accelerate AI-powered grid modernization and open up major business opportunities for AI solution providers in renewable energy and smart infrastructure.
