Michichi Solar BESS Project

Battery Energy Storage System

Project Overview

​Michichi Solar BESS Project is a proposed Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) of up to 10 megawatts (“MW”) in Starland County, Alberta, just north of the Town of Drumheller. Michichi Solar LP (a subsidiary of Capstone Infrastructure Corporation), the owner and operator of the Solar Facility, is planning to add more operational flexibility to the existing Solar Facility by installing a new Battery Energy Storage System (the “BESS Project”) within the existing site. The BESS Project will have the potential to generate up to 10 MW of power for up to two (2) full hours, with a total energy storage capacity of 20 MWh, allowing the facility to store electrcity when it is abundant and dispatch it to the grid when it is needed most.

Components

The specific technology selected for this BESS Project is the Lithium-Ion chemistry battery, and is manufactured by the company Canadian Solar. Specifically, the battery containers to be used are the SolBank (2-hour duration) Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) battery system, with 2750 kWh (or 2.75 MWh) of nameplate energy capacity with each container.
