Recently, Canadian Solar Power Group (stock abbreviation: Canadian Solar, stock code: 688472. SH), a leading global provider of integrated solutions for photovoltaic and energy storage systems, received heavy news. Its energy storage subsidiary, Canadian Solar Energy Storage Technology (e-Storage), successfully signed a cooperation agreement with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and won orders for two large Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects in Scotland, UK, with a total investment of 800 million pounds (approximately 7.45 billion yuan), injecting strong Chinese momentum into the European energy storage market.

The winning projects this time include the Coalburn 2 energy storage project in South Lanark County and the Devilla energy storage project in Fife County, both with a single project scale of 500MW/1000MWh, a total energy storage capacity of 1GW/2GWh, and an energy storage scheduling capacity of 2 hours. After completion, they will be among the largest battery storage projects in Europe. According to the agreement, Artus Energy Storage will provide approximately 450 independently developed SolBank 3.0 battery storage units for the project, and undertake long-term facility performance guarantee and operation management services. The project is expected to start construction in 2027, and after operation, it can meet the electricity needs of about 250000 British households, providing key support for the stability of the local power grid and helping to achieve the UK's net zero carbon economy goals and efficient consumption of renewable energy.

As the largest energy storage investment destination in Europe, the UK energy storage market is currently in a high-speed growth stage. It is expected to add 26GWh of installed capacity from 2022 to 2031, and the installed capacity is expected to exceed 20GW by 2025. The landing of this project is a key breakthrough for Artus in deepening its cultivation of the high-end European market. Relying on full stack technology solutions and global project execution capabilities, Artus Energy Storage has established a solid advantage in the UK market. Previously, it had signed an agreement with Root Power to provide over 1GWh of energy storage systems to the UK in the next three to four years, and with solid project reserves, it has been ranked among the top 10 energy storage system integrators in the UK market by S&P Global.

As of October 31, 2025, the total order amount of Ates Energy Storage on hand has reached $3.1 billion (approximately RMB 22.04 billion), with a global cumulative shipment volume exceeding 16 gigawatt hours. Its business covers core markets such as North America, Europe, and Australia. The signing of this £ 800 million UK order not only further expands its market share in the European energy storage track, but also confirms the core competitiveness of China's energy storage technology and solutions in the global high-end market, providing a reliable "Chinese solution" for the global energy transformation process.Editor/Bian Wenjun
