SkyPower Global (Toronto,
Ontario, Canada), a developer and owner of utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, on May 13th, 2016 announced it has entered into an agreement with BYD Company Ltd. (Guangdong, China) to submit a joint bid in the upcoming tenders for solar power generation capacity and energy storage of up to 750 MW in India.
The joint venture will draw upon SkyPower’s vast
global experience and its proprietary development platform to develop
solar power solutions in India at truly market-competitive rates, reads
the press release.
The agreement was signed during the opening ceremony
of the China-Canada Economic and Trade Cooperation Conference in the
presence of Hu Chunhua, Party Secretary of China’s Guangdong Province.
The conference, hosted by British Columbia Premier Christy Clark, was
aimed at strengthening the socio-cultural and economic ties between
China and Canada.
Solar implementation strategy in India based on PV and battery storage technology
“SkyPower, an industry leader in the development of
large-scale solar energy projects, is excited to work with BYD, a global
leader in battery technology, to bring together a highly-competitive
bid for low-carbon, clean technology solutions,” said Charles Cohen,
SkyPower’s Chief Commercial Officer, Commercial Strategy and
Development.
BYD’s battery storage technology, in concert with
SkyPower’s experience in developing utility-scale solar projects, will
enable a significant solar implementation strategy in India, the
partners emphasizes.
“One of the key components of our trade missions and
ongoing relationship with our sister province of Guangdong is promoting
cooperation between clean technology companies, like SkyPower in Canada
and BYD in China,” said Premier Christy Clark.
“It creates opportunity on both sides of the
Pacific, and encourages the innovative use of clean technologies to
support the transition to a lower carbon economy, and a cleaner
environment for us all.”
BYD is headquartered in Guangdong, China’s most
populated province, accounting for more than twenty-five percent of
China’s foreign trade.
“BYD is the global leader in reliable, efficient
battery storage and solar technology, and we are committed to providing
affordable, sustainable energy solutions that not only help countries
recover economically but also help reduce air pollution caused by
traditional, dirty fossil fuels,” stated Stella Li, Senior Corporate
Vice President of BYD.
The Government of Guangdong continues to invest in
clean energy mass transit solutions to help address the environmental
objectives of China’s 13th Five-Year Plan.
