Westbridge Renewable Energy Corporation has acquired a 300MW plus 200MW battery project in Alberta, Canada.
The Eastervale project is located in the municipality of Provost, in east-central Alberta.
The project’s battery will have a two-hour battery duration.
Maggie McKenna, Westbridge Director and COO, said: “The Eastervale Project has secured site control in the form of a long-term solar lease with private landowners.
“It is currently in Stage 2 of the Alberta Electric System Operator (the “AESO”) interconnection process, with environmental and wildlife field studies underway in accordance with Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) guidelines.”
Stefano Romanin, Director and CEO, added: “With the addition of Eastervale to our portfolio, we now control five utility-scale Solar PV development projects in Canada and the US and a stand-alone BESS project in the UK, three of the most important jurisdictions for renewables.
“Eastervale complements our robust portfolio in Alberta, where we continue to see significant opportunities for origination and acquisitions, particularly as we progress the flagship Georgetown project towards monetisation.”
The Company’s origination team continues to evaluate multiple new solar and battery storage development projects in Alberta, the US, and the UK to “further scale and strengthen” the portfolio.
