A subsidiary of Tesla, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker, has won approval to supply UK households and businesses with electricity, Britain’s energy regulator said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The company applied to become an electricity supplier in Britain in July, a first such move outside the United States by the operation run by tech billionaire Musk.<\/p>\n

Tesla Energy Ventures obtained a licence to produce electricity in the UK in 2020, notably using solar panels,<\/a> without selling it directly to consumers.<\/p>\n

It currently provides power across Texas.<\/p>\n

The regulator Ofgem said Tesla Energy Ventures “has been granted a licence authorising it to supply electricity to domestic and non-domestic consumers in Great Britain”.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson added that “protecting consumers and maintaining a secure, fair energy market underpins every licensing decision we make”.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as Tesla suffers a global decline in sales of its cars.<\/p>\n
