    US-based Tesla and French company Neoen will build the world’a largest lithium ion battery in South Australia, with plans to complete construction before summer.
    The 129MW per hour plant will be built at Jamestown, expanding Neoen’s Hornsdsle Wind Farm, two hours north of Adelaide.
    Tesla owner Elon Musk, who is worth more than US $16billion, is in Adelaide for the announcement.
