Cleaner Energy Initiative of the Year
Tesla Gigafactory, Tesla, Inc
Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada, the world's largest lithium ion battery factory, is vast by any standard. Already exceeding 1.9 million square feet, and expanding all the time, Tesla has said the factory could end up being 10 million square feet, the largest building in the world. The project is truly ground breaking and at the front line of the transition to sustainable energy. The factory has been designed for net zero energy consumption and yet its annual battery production rate will this year hit around 20GWh. This will make it not only the highest-volume producer of batteries globally but also higher than all other car manufacturers combined. The ambition is now to reach 35GWh by 2020. T
