Canadian Solar's energy storage division has been selected by Aypa Power, supported by Blackstone, to deploy a 498 MWh standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Texas.
The project, known as the Bypass Project, will be located near Thompsons in Fort Bend County and is slated for completion by the third quarter of 2025.
The facility will feature 106 units of e-STORAGE's SolBank 3.0 technology, each equipped with lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) chemistry battery cells capable of storing 5 MWh of energy. These units will be complemented by 65 power conversion systems and controllers.
Following commissioning, e-STORAGE will provide ongoing operational support under a long-term service agreement (LTSA).
This collaboration underscores Canadian Solar's expansion in the energy storage sector and its role in advancing renewable energy infrastructure in Texas.
