Canadian Solar announced that its subsidiary e-STORAGE, will deliver battery energy storage systems for two major projects in Scotland.
The planned Coalburn 2 will be situated in South Lanarkshire on the former Broken Cross opencast coal mine, it is expected to be Europe’s biggest battery farm once open.
e-STORAGE will also supply battery storage to the 1 GWh Devilla project in Fife. Both will feature two-hour energy dispatch capability and are set to begin construction in 2027.
