Developer Primergy Solar has entered into a sole battery supply agreement with lithium-ion battery manufacturer CATL for the Gemini solar-plus-storage project in Nevada, US.

Debt and equity financing worth US$1.9 billion has been closed for one of the US’ largest solar-plus-storage power plants to date.

Convergent Energy + Power has commissioned an industrial battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Ontario which could save the facility owner CA$450,000 (US$356,000) per megawatt on power costs during summer.
