Elon Musk's electric car and energy company Tesla has applied for a licence to supply electricity to British homes. If approved by the energy watchdog Ofgem, it would allow Tesla to take on the big firms that dominate the UK energy market to provide electricity to households and businesses in England, Scotland and Wales as soon as next year. Tesla, which is best known as one of the world's biggest makers of electric vehicles (EV), also has a solar energy and battery storage business.
Main Idea: Tesla has applied for a licence from Ofgem to supply electricity to British homes, which could let it enter the UK power market next year.
Key Points:
Tesla could face more strain if US investors see weak Europe sales and the UK plan fails, which may hit stock values and worker confidence.
A Tesla power plan in Britain could show more competition in energy markets and may lead to new clean-power options for households if approved.
