Tesla reportedly wants to build two giant batteries and sell electricity directly to customers in Texas.
Texas Monthly reported Thursday that a Tesla TSLA, -1.41% subsidiary earlier this month filed an application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas to sell power on the retail market. Tesla reportedly told state regulators it intends to build two giant, 250-megawatt batteries, one at its factory under construction near Austin, and the other outside Houston.
Electricity could be drawn from that grid or from Tesla home batteries, the report said, and Texans with solar panels on their homes could sell excess power to Tesla’s grid as well. About 120 other companies already sell electricity to consumers in Texas, which was hit by a calamitous cold snap in February that pushed the state’s power grid to the brink and left many residents without electricity for days.
Tesla battery packs are planned to store energy at an Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.55% solar plant near Monterey, Calif., and it has a massive battery project in Australia.

Texas GOP pushes ahead on voting bill with Democrats backTexas Republicans on Thursday pressed forward on a third try at passing new voting restrictions after Democrats returned from a 38-day walkout with little ability now to stop the bill from reaching Gov. Greg Abbott. A nearly 50-page bill was headed for early passage in the Texas House, where some but not all of the more than 50 Democrats who fled to Washington D.C. last month to temporarily block the legislation remained absent. With enough Democrats back to secure a quorum and allow business to resume in the Texas Capitol, Republicans were racing to get the elections bill across the finish line before a Labor Day weekend deadline.
