SolarBank (CSE:SUNN) has signed engineering, procurement and construction agreements for the construction of three separate projects.

The agreements come with a total contract value of $36 million.

The battery energy storage system projects are owned by Solar Flow-Through Funds, two First Nations communities and a third-party developer in Ontario.

The three projects each have a discharge capacity of 4.74 megawatts with 18.96 megawatt hours of storage.

SolarBank manages solar farms at two of the three locations that will now host a battery energy storage system.

The battery energy storage market is forecast by Fortune Business Insights to grow at a 16.3 per cent compound annual growth rate from 2022 to reach US$31.2 billion by 2029.

SolarBank has completed hundreds of solar power plants for commercial and industrial clients. The company has also completed 70 community solar projects in collaboration with the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board. Approximately 90 per cent of SolarBank’s contracts to date have been awarded by governments in Ontario, New York and Maryland.
