According to Sawyer Merritt, pv-magazine-australia.com reports that Neoen has started building the third stage of Queensland’s largest battery with a capacity of 1.22 GWh. This large-scale battery project integrates advanced AI-driven energy management systems to optimize battery performance, grid stability, and renewable integration. The implementation of AI technologies enables real-time data analytics, predictive maintenance, and automated grid balancing, creating significant business opportunities in AI-powered energy storage solutions for utility-scale renewables.

According to Sawyer Merritt, lithium-ion battery pack prices have dropped 8% year-over-year, reaching a record low of $108 per kWh as of December 2025 (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter). This significant price decrease enhances the economic viability of deploying AI-powered energy management systems and smart grid solutions. Lower battery costs enable broader adoption of AI-driven optimization for renewable energy storage, electric vehicles, and industrial IoT, opening new business opportunities for AI startups and enterprises in the sustainable energy sector.

According to Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt), construction has started on a $60 million Tesla Megapack battery energy storage site in Puerto Rico, marking Tesla's largest project of this kind in the United States. The initiative is part of a $533 million contract between Genera PR and Tesla for installing Megapacks at six power plants. AI-powered energy management systems will optimize battery operations, reducing energy production costs by up to $100 million annually and enhancing grid stability. The Megapacks, with up to four hours of runtime, are designed to reduce grid load fluctuations by 90%, improve renewable energy integration, and enable instant energy dispatch for peak demand. This deployment demonstrates the growing role of AI in large-scale battery storage and offers significant business opportunities in smart grid and renewable energy sectors (Source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter).
