Canadian Solar’s  e-STORAGE, part of the company’s CSI Solar subsidiary, has been selected as the preferred supplier by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to deliver its Summerfield battery storage project.

The Summerfield battery storage project is a 240 MW DC energy storage solution, currently sized at a two-hour storage duration but is expandable depending on market needs. It is the first multiple large-scale battery project spearheaded by CIP in Australia. The project is scheduled for installation in 2025 and will incorporate e-STORAGE’s SolBank battery technology.

The battery system will accumulate surplus energy during periods of low demand and distribute power back to the grid during peak consumption phases, says the company. The Summerfield Battery is situated in the Murraylands region to the east of Adelaide in South Australia and is set to serve the region as well as the broader national energy grid.

e-STORAGE will deliver its battery energy storage systems and provide integration, commissioning and long-term operational services for the project. Is SolBank technology includes a self-manufactured battery designed for utility-scale applications, based on lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry.

“We are pleased to work with Canadian Solar to deliver a new large-scale battery in South Australia. The Summerfield Battery will help to ensure continued energy reliability and unlock new renewable capacity,” says CIP’s Jørn Hammer.

“We are deeply honored to collaborate with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Flagship Fund as they endeavor to expand battery storage solutions in Australia. Together, we understand the pivotal role that battery storage systems play in achieving a sustainable future and we are engaged in making a difference in the renewable industry,” adds Colin Parkin, e-STORAGE president.

We’re Running Out of Time

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism.  (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth?  One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.

Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others.  This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels.  Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
