Canadian Solar Inc. today announced that CSI Energy Storage, which is part of its majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar Co., Ltd. ("CSI Solar"), will deliver 363 MWh of battery energy products to an Aypa Power project in Texas. The project is expected to reach commercial operation by Q2 2024.
The supply agreement announced today expands CSI Energy Storage's partnership with Aypa Power. In February, the companies announced that they had executed a contract for 487 MWh of energy storage products to support Aypa Power's Cald project in Southern California. With today's announcement, CSI Energy Storage will be servicing Aypa Power with a total of 850 MWh of battery energy storage.
Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar, said, "Aypa Power has one of the most robust pipelines of standalone energy storage projects across North America and CSI Energy Storage is pleased to be a trusted partner as Aypa continues to execute on its late-stage energy storage and hybrid development projects. We look forward to bringing these two impactful projects online to support the rapidly expanding energy storage market in the United States."
