The project combines 800 MW of solar PV and 500 MW / 1,000 MWh of battery energy storage, marking a major milestone in Recurrent Energy’s UK growth strategy.

KITCHENER, ON, December 2, 2025 – Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc. (“Canadian Solar”) (NASDAQ: CSIQ), and a leading global developer, owner, and operator of solar and energy storage assets, announced today that it has been granted a Development Consent Order (DCO) for its Tillbridge solar and battery energy storage project, located in Lincolnshire, England. The proposed project combines 800 MW of solar PV and 500 MW / 1,000 MWh of battery energy storage. The DCO, which was awarded by the UK Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, marks a major milestone in Recurrent Energy’s UK growth strategy.

The Tillbridge site will be located several miles east of Gainsborough and it is a joint venture between Tribus Clean Energy and Recurrent Energy, both experienced renewable energy developers. Once operational, it will be one of the largest hybrid solar and storage facilities in the United Kingdom.
The facility is expected to generate approximately 857.6 GWh of clean electricity annually, enough to power nearly 300,000 UK homes. Over its lifetime, the project will prevent more than 15 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions and is expected to create around 1,250 jobs during the construction phase.

The Tillbridge project will deliver benefits both nationally and locally, helping to increase the UK’s supply of reliable, secure, and low-carbon energy while offering environmental enhancements and community benefits. It is expected to provide a minimum of 64.44% net biodiversity gain for local habitats, improve green infrastructure connectivity through the creation of green corridors, and enhance local recreational trails for the community. Projects like Tillbridge are essential to achieving the UK’s Net Zero ambitions andmitigating the impacts of climate change.

Ismael Guerrero, CEO of Recurrent Energy, said, “We are proud to achieve this important milestone for one of the UK’s most significant solar and storage projects. Tillbridge represents a major step forward in supporting the UK’s clean energy transition, strengthening grid reliability while delivering tangible
community and environmental benefits. This achievement underscores Recurrent Energy’s commitment to advancing large-scale renewable infrastructure in the UK and globally.”
