According to Solarquarter, Canadian Solar Inc. has announced that its subsidiary, e-STORAGE, will supply energy storage solutions for Strata Clean Energy’s White Tank Battery Project in Arizona. The project will feature a 100 MW / 576 MWh DC Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and is scheduled to begin construction in October 2026.
Key Highlights of the White Tank Battery Project
- Capacity: 100 MW / 576 MWh DC Battery Energy Storage System
- Technology: SolBank 3.0 by e-STORAGE
- Start Date: Construction to commence in October 2026
- Purpose: Enhance grid reliability and integrate renewable energy into the grid
- Partnership: Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) for 20 years
Enhancing Grid Reliability with Renewable Energy Storage
The White Tank Battery Project will store renewable energy and supply it to Arizona Public Service (APS). By storing excess solar and wind energy during the day, the system will release stored energy in the evening to meet peak demand, ensuring stable electricity supply.
Advanced SolBank 3.0 Technology
e-STORAGE will deliver approximately 120 SolBank 3.0 battery enclosures. These advanced energy storage units are designed for safe and efficient energy management, providing robust performance and durability. SolBank 3.0 also supports smart energy management, enhancing grid flexibility and ensuring clean energy integration.
Statements from Industry Leaders
Bob Schaffeld, President of Strata Clean Energy, emphasized the importance of partnering with e-STORAGE, highlighting their flexible and high-quality energy storage solutions. Colin Parkin, President of e-STORAGE, reiterated their commitment to supporting Arizona’s clean energy goals through cutting-edge battery storage technology.
Long-Term Service Agreement for Reliable Operations
Under the 20-year LTSA, e-STORAGE will oversee the system’s operations and maintenance. This agreement ensures optimal performance through regular servicing, remote monitoring, and on-site support when needed.
Canadian Solar’s Commitment to Clean Energy Innovation
Canadian Solar has been expanding its clean energy initiatives globally. Recently, the company secured multiple energy storage projects across North America, further establishing its leadership in the renewable energy sector. With a strong focus on sustainability and technological innovation, Canadian Solar continues to contribute to global energy transition efforts.
Conclusion
The White Tank Battery Project marks a significant milestone for both Canadian Solar and Strata Clean Energy. By deploying advanced storage solutions, the project will enhance grid reliability, reduce carbon emissions, and support Arizona’s transition to a cleaner energy future.
