Recurrent Energy Starts Operation of 200 MWp Villameca Solar Plant

Kitchener – – October 15, 2026 -- Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ), has started commercial operations at its 200 MWp Villameca solar project in Castilla y León, Spain, bringing the company close to 1 GW of operating solar capacity in the country by the end of the year.

Villameca is expected to generate 359,172 MWh of electricity a year

The photovoltaic plant is expected to supply more than 100,000 homes and avoid about 57,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually. The company equates that to removing more than 12,000 internal combustion vehicles from the road.

Canadian Solar's e-STORAGE to Build 100MW/200MWh BESS for OX2 in Australia

Kitchener, ON – October 06, 2026 -- Canadian Solar Inc.'s (NASDAQ: CSIQ) energy storage unit e-STORAGE has signed an agreement to supply and commission a 100 MW/200 MWh battery energy storage system for OX2's Muswellbrook Solar Farm and Battery in New South Wales, Australia. Shipments are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2027, with commercial operation targeted for the third quarter of 2028.

Project sits on former coal land in a designated renewable energy zone

The facility is located roughly 2.5 kilometers east of Muswellbrook, on the site of a former coal mine within the Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone. The region's aging coal generators are set to retire in the early 2030s, and the two-hour storage system is designed to hold midday solar output and release it during the evening demand peak as thermal supply tightens.
