Canadian Solar has announced that its subsidiary e-STORAGE has secured Battery Supply Agreements and Long-Term Service Agreements (LTSA) for two major battery energy storage projects in the United States, developed by Aypa Power.
The agreements cover 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.
These projects will use approximately 370 SolBank 3.0 units, with construction scheduled to start in Q3 2025. Following commissioning, e-STORAGE will oversee maintenance and operations under a 20-year LTSA to ensure performance and reliability.
Colin Parkin, President of e-STORAGE, said: “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.
“These projects highlight the increasing role of battery storage in stabilising renewable energy supply, and we remain committed to driving innovation and delivering high-quality solutions that support a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.”
The projects are expected to improve grid resilience and support renewable energy integration in key U.S. markets.
