Recurrent Energy Completes Sale of Two 100 MW / 400 MWh BESS Projects in France to BW ESS

  • Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar, sold a 200 MW / 800 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) portfolio in France to BW ESS.
  • The portfolio consists of two standalone projects: Baixas (100 MW / 400 MWh) in Pyrénées-Orientales & Coquainvilliers (100 MW / 400 MWh) in Calvados.
  • Both projects feature advanced transmission-level grid connections & have limited expected network constraints to provide flexible capacity to the French electricity system.
  • Recurrent Energy originated & developed the projects by securing land, advancing grid connections, & managing permitting & local stakeholder engagement.
  • This transaction marks BW ESS' entry into the French market & their first deal with Recurrent Energy.
  • Recurrent Energy will continue leading the projects through the remaining development phase before BW ESS takes over construction & commercial operation.
  • BW ESS intends to own & operate the assets long-term to complement France's nuclear backbone with rapid-response flexibility.
  • The acquisition gives BW ESS an immediate 200 MW / 800 MWh platform in France to support their global expansion & portfolio growth.
