Summary

This expands the company's European footprint and helps address grid congestion in a solar-rich region. While financial terms were not disclosed, this win adds to Canadian Solar's project pipeline, following a larger 420 MWh battery storage contract announced in March. Construction is slated to begin by year-end, with commercialization expected in early 2028.
