Canadian Solar said that construction has begun on a large-scale solar PV project combined with a four-hour duration battery storage system in California which the company has just sold to Goldman Sachs Renewable Power.
Slate, a solar-plus-storage plant pairing 300MWac of solar photovoltaics (PV) with 140.25MW / 561MWh of battery energy storage, is under development in California’s Kings County through Canadian Solar’s US subsidiary Recurrent Energy. The project is expected to be up and running towards the end of this year and around 405 workers will be employed during the peak construction phase.
