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.

Making Billions by Harming Others

On average, I meet perhaps 50 K-12 teachers each year, and I often ask them: What is the biggest challenge you face that impacts your ability to connect with and educate your students?

Here’s a rough tabulation:

Screen time, how it robs kids of their ability to pay attention, impedes social interaction, and makes parenting more difficult: 80%

Everything else combined: 20%

Maybe this is a cynical viewpoint, but it seems like that world of today revolves around the mega-corporations profiting by punishing their customers.

In this case, we have the tech giants ruining the lives of our children.  Elsewhere, we have healthcare industry driving people into bankruptcy, Big Oil ruining our planet, the gun lobby murdering our kids, and, of course, an ultra-corrupt government looting our treasury to pay off billionaire donors.

Note that this wasn’t the case when we boomers were growing up 60 years ago.  This is a distinctive shift from the 1960s when corporate America was focused on things like color TVs and the Ford Mustang.

Is a Team of Is a Bunch of MAGA Thugs Beating the Snot Out of a Woman a New Low, or Is it What We Now Need to Expect?

Just when we think there is a bottom, the United States sinks just a bit lower. It’s our brand nowadays.

That’s quite a left cross this thug delivered to this helpless female protestor.

It wasn’t too long ago that beating up women was taboo in America.  My 11-year-old, sixth-grade son saw a male classmate of his badly bruise a girl by pushing her hard down to the ground–and proceeded to punch him in the mouth.  A fellow father witnessed the scene and told me, “Your son’s fist was in that kid’s teeth within a fraction of a second.”

I had brought him up to avoid violence and achieve peaceful resolutions to conflicts, but I couldn’t fault him here.

What a disgusting bunch of turds we’ve become.
