(Sarnia, ON) November 25, 2019 – Convergent Energy + Power (Convergent), the leading independent developer of energy storage solutions in North America, today announced that the 21 MWh of industrial battery storage systems under construction at two Shell Canada Products facilities in Ontario are now operational.
