Canadian Solar’s e-STORAGE to deliver 226 MWh DC storage to ENGIE in UK

Canadian Solar announced its majority-owned e-STORAGE will deliver 226 MWh DC of turnkey energy storage solutions to ENGIE in the UK (Scotland). e-STORAGE will construct the two energy storage projects, each with a capacity of 56.5 MW / 113 MWh DC in Cathkin and Broxburn, Scotland, UK. Both sites will be connected to the 33 kV network and are scheduled to reach grid connection in early 2025. e-STORAGE has signed an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction agreement with ENGIE for the construction of both sites. The two BESS projects will employ SolBank, a proprietary containerized energy storage solution using robust and high-cycle capacity lithium-iron-phosphate cells, active balancing battery management system and efficient thermal management system. e-STORAGE’s SolBank provides customers with superior performance at the highest levels of safety. The Cathkin and Broxburn energy storage projects will support more than 40,000 homes and play a significant role in facilitating the UK’s transition to net zero emissions by 2050.
