Canadian Solar‘s energy storage subsidiary e-Storage has secured a contract to supply a 95 MW/426 MWh (DC) battery energy storage system for an electric utility project in Florida.
The project is scheduled to begin installation in the second half of 2027, with commercial operation expected in early 2028.
Under the agreement, e-Storage will deliver an integrated battery energy storage system comprising its SolBank 3.0 battery containers, power conversion systems and proprietary EQ-S energy management system. The company will also provide long-term operational support through a long-term service agreement covering system monitoring, preventive maintenance and performance optimisation.
The battery cells and SolBank 3.0 containers will be manufactured within Canadian Solar’s global production network.
Colin Parkin, president of e-Storage, said: “This agreement reflects the continued confidence that utilities place in e-Storage’s ability to deliver high-quality, utility-scale battery storage solutions. As demand for grid flexibility continues to grow, we are proud to support our customers with fully integrated systems that combine advanced battery technology, sophisticated energy management, and long-term operational services. Florida is an important market for energy storage, and this project will help strengthen grid reliability while enabling greater integration of renewable energy.”
The project adds to e-Storage’s growing US portfolio of utility-scale battery installations. As of the end of 2025, the company had shipped more than 18 GWh of battery energy storage solutions worldwide and reported a contracted backlog worth US$3.6 billion as of March 2026.
