Additional information
SunEdison, Inc. (NYSE: SUNE), the largest global renewable energy development company, today announced that it has signed a 10-year agreement with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator to supply 5 MW 20 MWh of battery storage to the province.
SunEdison is working with flow battery technology leader Imergy to deliver the project. Imergy’s vanadium redox flow battery technology provides a cost effective and durable way to store energy for hours at a time.
SunEdison plans to start construction of the project during the first half of 2017, with completion targeted for later that year. Operation and maintenance of the battery systems will be performed by SunEdison Services, which provides global asset management, monitoring and reporting services.
