Tesla is attempting to close the gaps in its energy strategy by becoming an energy supplier and has registered itself as an electricity provider with the intention to launch a retail electricity product.

If the company does enter the UK energy market it could therefore provide consumer electricity into the house and use the company’s solar offerings, is “Powerwall” battery storage systems and EVs as parts of a joined-up energy ecosystem, allowing excess energy to be exported and the loads better balanced.

Telsa already offers supply in the US, but this could mark the first steps towards a global offering.
