Recurrent Energy signs 600 MW energy storage contract in USA

Recurrent Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc. announced that it signed a 15-year Resource Adequacy agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to provide 150 MW /600 MWh of energy storage in phase 2 of the Crimson project beginning in the summer of 2022.

The 350 MW /1,400 MWh Crimson project will be one of the largest battery energy storage projects in the world when it comes online beginning in summer 2022. Earlier this year, Recurrent Energy was awarded a long-term energy storage contract for 200 MW /800 MWh for phase 1 of the Crimson project located in Riverside County, California. Both contracts are stand-alone storage projects and are part of reliability procurements directed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). 

Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar, said, “It is becoming increasingly important to be able to send energy to the grid during heatwaves and other peak demand events. We are pleased to help PG&E enhance grid reliability in California by providing critically needed resource adequacy capacity through our long-term battery storage solution. We are accelerating all our development processes to ensure we reach the target commercial operation date of summer 2022".
