SolBank 3.0 from e-STORAGE<\/p><\/div>\n
Canadian Solar subsidiary e-STORAGE<\/a> announced this week its intentions to open a 3-GWh energy storage manufacturing plant in Shelbyville, Kentucky. e-STORAGE will operate out of an existing 1 million-ft2<\/sup> factory that previously was slated to house EnerVenue’s metal-hydrogen battery<\/a> manufacturing operations, as first confirmed to Energy Storage News<\/a>.<\/em> EnerVenue exited the operations contract after “production delays.”<\/p>\n e-STORAGE will invest $712 million into the facility, creating 1,500 jobs. The site will produce lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) solutions for non-residential use. The facility also features an on-site R&D lab. Production should begin in late 2025, with full-scale operations expected by early 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud to be a part of the growing energy technology transformation across the U.S., and we are thrilled to announce our investment in a new, state-of-the-art industrial battery cell, module, and packaging plant in Shelbyville, Kentucky that will employ over 1,500 Kentuckians,\u201d said\u00a0Colin Parkin, president of e-STORAGE.<\/p>\n
