Canadian Solar’s e-STORAGE has landed a contract from Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for 240-megawatt battery energy storage systems for one of South Australia’s biggest battery energy storage (BESS) projects, a Feb. 10 news release states.
The subsidiary of Canadian Solar’s CSI Solar will provide more than 200 SolBank 3.0 battery containers for the project in Summerfield, South Australia. As part of a long-term service agreement, the company will also provide performance and operational management services.
“This project will make a significant contribution to South Australia’s target of 100% renewable electricity generation by 2027,” said e-STORAGE President Colin Parkin. “With over 1.5 GWh of BESS under construction in Australia, e-STORAGE continues to establish itself as a leading product and service supplier in the region.”
Construction on the Summerfield project is expected to start in 2025, Canadian Solar said.
