TOKYO -- U.S. automaker Tesla will deliver large storage batteries to one of Japan's largest power storage plants planned by financial services group Orix, as demand for facilities that help manage power supply and demand grows with the spread of renewable energy.

Tesla will supply its Megapack storage batteries with a combined total capacity of 548 megawatt-hours to the facility in Maibara in central Japan's Shiga prefecture, which will begin operation as early as 2027.
