It secured 13.3% of the total energy storage projects awarded.

Canadian Solar won the tender for three battery energy storage systems with a total capacity of 193 megawatts (MW) under Japan’s first long-term decarbonisation power source auction.

In a statement, Canadian Solar said the projects will operate for over a 20-year period in exchange for capacity reserve payments to offset fixed storage system costs.

The projects, located in Aomori, Fukushima, and Yamaguchi, are expected to start operations between 2027 and 2028.
