Didn't they announce last year that the largest battery manufacturing plant was being built near Reno, NV as part of the Gigafactory. Now all of a sudden this one in Australia, what's the deal?

This is a battery installation, not a factory.

South Australia is getting a battery, not a battery manufacturing plant. The Gigafactory makes the batteries.

Not a factory. This is a battery stored peaking power plant.
