Lord Mayor Moore says it&#8217;s the first Tesla Powerpack system to be installed at a major site in New South Wales.<\/p>\n<p>The installation is part of a trial being conducted in partnership with TransGrid, operator and manager of the NSW high voltage transmission network, to determine whether a network of similar solar power and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">battery storage systems<\/a> should be rolled out across the metropolitan area to help manage peak demand and lower energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>Other sustainability-related features at Alexandra Canal Depot include natural ventilation and lighting, rainwater collection, water re-use and what&#8217;s been called &#8220;eco-concrete&#8221;, which reduced the amount of carbon dioxide embodied in construction of the facility.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra Canal Depot replaces three existing City of Sydney depots (Epsom Road, Zetland; Marian Street, Redfern and Gerard Street, Alexandria) and will accommodate 150 staff.<\/p>\n<p>Those wanting to check out the depot&#8217;s solar + storage system and other aspects of the facility can do so this Saturday from 1pm to 3pm.\u00a0 There will be free coffee, gelato, activities for children and a visit from Bob the Builder (whether Elon Musk will be wearing the costume isn&#8217;t clear).
