It wants to start selling electricity itself — at least to some people in Texas.</p><p><blockquote>纽约（CNN商业）<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">特斯拉</a>想做的不仅仅是卖给你一辆电动汽车。它希望开始自己出售电力——至少向德克萨斯州的一些人出售电力。</blockquote></p><p> It has filed with the Texas Public Utility Commission to generate electricity and sell it directly to the public. Details about its exact plans are not included in the application, and Tesla did not respond to a request for comment. But the company said in its filing it plans to sell electricity directly to consumers, with a focus on those who already own Tesla cars.</p><p><blockquote>它已向德克萨斯州公用事业委员会申请发电并直接出售给公众。申请中没有包含有关其具体计划的细节，特斯拉也没有回应置评请求。但该公司在文件中表示，计划直接向消费者出售电力，重点是那些已经拥有特斯拉汽车的人。</blockquote></p><p> The filing was first reported by Texas Monthly.</p><p><blockquote>《德克萨斯月刊》首先报道了这份文件。</blockquote></p><p> The company best known for being the largest electric vehicle company in the world also has a solar energy unit. Most of that business is focused on installing solar panels on homes or other buildings, which are then linked to batteries, which Tesla has branded as Powerwalls, used to store excess power captured during the day to provide power at night.</p><p><blockquote>这家以世界上最大的电动汽车公司而闻名的公司也有一个太阳能部门。该业务的大部分重点是在家庭或其他建筑物上安装太阳能电池板，然后将其连接到电池上，特斯拉将其称为Powerwalls，用于存储白天捕获的多余电力，以便在夜间供电。</blockquote></p><p> But Tesla has a very low-profile business known as \"Megapack\" that builds very large batteries used to store utility-scale amounts of electricity. It built the first of those massive batteries in Hornsdale, Australia, in 2017, and has since expanded the product to other locations.</p><p><blockquote>但特斯拉有一项名为“Megapack”的非常低调的业务，该业务生产非常大的电池，用于存储公用事业规模的电力。该公司于2017年在澳大利亚霍恩斯代尔制造了第一个大型电池，此后将该产品扩展到其他地点。</blockquote></p><p> \"Battery storage is transforming the global electric grid and is an increasingly important element of the world's transition to sustainable energy,\" it said in a 2019 blog post. \"To match global demand for massive battery storage projects like Hornsdale, Tesla designed and engineered a new battery product specifically for utility-scale projects.\"</p><p><blockquote>该公司在2019年的一篇博客文章中表示：“电池存储正在改变全球电网，并且是世界向可持续能源转型中越来越重要的元素。”“为了满足全球对霍恩斯代尔等大型电池存储项目的需求，特斯拉专门为公用事业规模项目设计和制造了一种新型电池产品。”</blockquote></p><p> It's a growing business. Tesla has said it is investing more of its available cash in its Megapack. Utilities have reported plans to install over 10,000 megawatts of additional large-scale battery power capacity from 2021 through 2023 from all manner of battery suppliers, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That's up from only 1,650 megawatts of large-scale capacity in place at the end of last year.</p><p><blockquote>这是一个不断增长的行业。特斯拉表示，它正在将更多可用现金投资于其Megapack。据美国能源情报署称，公用事业公司已报告计划从2021年到2023年从各种电池供应商那里额外安装超过10,000兆瓦的大型电池发电容量。这高于去年年底仅有1,650兆瓦的大规模产能。</blockquote></p><p> Bloomberg reported earlier this year that Gambit Energy Storage LLC, a Tesla subsidiary, is quietly building a more than 100 megawatt energy storage project in Angleton, Texas, a town roughly 40 miles south of Houston. A battery that size could power about 20,000 homes on a hot summer day.</p><p><blockquote>彭博社今年早些时候报道称，特斯拉旗下的Gambit Energy Storage LLC正在休斯敦以南约40英里的德克萨斯安格尔顿镇悄悄建设一个超过100兆瓦的储能项目。在炎热的夏天，这种尺寸的电池可以为大约20,000个家庭供电。</blockquote></p><p> But, so far, Tesla has sold Megapacks only to other companies and Tesla has not tried to sell directly to consumers. That would change, according to its filing.</p><p><blockquote>但是，到目前为止，特斯拉只向其他公司销售Megapacks，特斯拉还没有尝试直接向消费者销售。根据其文件，这种情况将会改变。</blockquote></p><p> Despite its long association with oil and natural gas, Texas has the third most EVs in the country, behind only California and Florida, according to recent statistics from Electrek. Texas also generates a significant portion of electrical power through solar and wind power, sources of power that need to have storage of electricity since they are not constantly available. Texas generates by far the greatest amount of electricity from wind power of any state and is second only to California for the amount of electricity coming from to solar power, according to the EIA.</p><p><blockquote>根据Electrek最近的统计数据，尽管德克萨斯州与石油和天然气有着长期的联系，但其电动汽车数量在全国排名第三，仅次于加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州。德克萨斯州还通过太阳能和风能产生很大一部分电力，这些电力来源需要储存电力，因为它们并不总是可用。根据美国能源情报署的数据，德克萨斯州是迄今为止风力发电量最大的州，太阳能发电量仅次于加利福尼亚州。</blockquote></p><p> But its electrical grid suffered a massive failure due to a winter storm in February. Part of the problem was that Texas is the only state in the continental United States not tied into the national grid, which would allow it to tap into other states' electricity supplies at times of crisis. Some electric companies have filed for bankruptcy since then.</p><p><blockquote>但由于二月份的冬季风暴，其电网遭受了大规模故障。部分问题在于，德克萨斯州是美国大陆唯一一个没有接入国家电网的州，这将使其能够在危机时期利用其他州的电力供应。此后，一些电力公司申请破产。</blockquote></p><p> CEO Elon Musk made reference to the need for more electrical storage if utilities in Texas are to avoid the problems of this past winter.</p><p><blockquote>首席执行官埃隆·马斯克提到，如果德克萨斯州的公用事业公司要避免去年冬天的问题，就需要更多的电力存储。</blockquote></p><p> \"In Texas, there was a peak power demand, and ... because the grid lacks the ability to buffer the power, they have to shut down power. There's no power storage,\" he said in a call with investors in April. He did not mention Megapack on that call, but suggested that the greater adoption of solar panels on homes and Tesla's Powerwalls would help to provide that buffer needed for the grid in Texas and elsewhere.</p><p><blockquote>“在得州，出现了电力需求高峰，而且……因为电网缺乏缓冲电力的能力，他们不得不关闭电力。没有电力存储，”他在4月份与投资者举行的看涨期权上表示。他没有在看涨期权上提到Megapack，但表示在家庭和特斯拉Powerwalls上更多地采用太阳能电池板将有助于为德克萨斯和其他地方的电网提供所需的缓冲。</blockquote></p><p> This is the latest move by Tesla and Musk to focus more attention on Texas. Tesla is already building its second US car factory outside of Austin, and Musk formally moved his residence to Texas, he disclosed in December. Last year during a fight over Covid-19 public health restrictions that Musk opposed, he threatened he would move Tesla's headquarters to Texas, but he never followed through on that threat.</p><p><blockquote>这是特斯拉和马斯克将更多注意力集中在得州的最新举措。马斯克去年12月透露，特斯拉已经在奥斯丁以外的地方建造了第二家美国汽车工厂，马斯克正式将住所迁至德克萨斯。去年，在一场反对Covid-19公共卫生限制的斗争中，马斯克威胁要将特斯拉总部迁至德克萨斯，但他从未兑现这一威胁。</blockquote></p><p> In addition his rocket company SpaceX also has a strong presence in South Texas, include a sprawling manufacturing facility, launch and landing pads, where the company is building and testing early versions of Starship, its gargantuan rocket that Musk hopes will one day be used to carry people to the moon and Mars.</p><p><blockquote>此外，他的火箭公司SpaceX在德克萨斯州南部也拥有强大的影响力，包括一个庞大的制造设施、发射台和着陆场，该公司正在那里建造和测试Starship的早期版本，马斯克希望有一天能够使用它将人们运送到月球和火星。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla files to sell electricity in Texas<blockquote>特斯拉申请在德克萨斯出售电力</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTesla files to sell electricity in Texas<blockquote>特斯拉申请在德克萨斯出售电力</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">cnn</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-08-30 09:37</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>New York (CNN Business)<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla Motors</a> wants to do more than sell you an electric car.
