Canadian Solar’s e-STORAGE Secures Agreements for Major Battery Energy Storage Projects in California and Texas
Canadian Solar Inc. has announced that its e-STORAGE division, a part of its majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar Co., Ltd. (CSI Solar), has successfully secured Battery Supply Agreements and Long-Term Service Agreements (LTSA) for two significant battery energy storage projects in the United States, developed by Aypa Power. These agreements involve the supply and commissioning of a 160 MW AC/806 MWh DC Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in California and a 200 MW AC/998 MWh DC BESS in Texas.
The projects will utilize approximately 370 SolBank 3.0 units, with construction slated to commence in the third quarter of 2025. Following commissioning, e-STORAGE will oversee system maintenance and operations under a 20-year LTSA, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
Colin Parkin, President of e-STORAGE, remarked, “We are proud to support Aypa Power in delivering utility-scale energy storage projects that will play a pivotal role in enhancing grid flexibility and reliability. Our SolBank technology is designed to provide safe, high-performance energy storage solutions that meet the growing demands of the market. These projects underscore the increasing importance of battery storage in stabilizing renewable energy supplies, and we remain committed to driving innovation and delivering high-quality solutions that support a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.”
These projects are set to enhance grid resilience and facilitate the integration of renewable energy in key U.S. markets. e-STORAGE, a Tier 1 global provider of energy storage solutions, will implement its proprietary SolBank 3.0 battery energy storage solution, which features lithium-iron-phosphate battery technology, an active balancing battery management system, and advanced liquid cooling mechanisms to ensure safety and performance.
