Canadian Solar Inc. (Guelph, Ontario) on September 26th, 2016 announced the commercial operation of the 200 MWAC/258 MWp Tranquillity solar power project in California.
The Tranquillity solar photovoltaic (PV)
project was developed by Canadian Solar's wholly owned subsidiary
Recurrent Energy and is majority-owned by Southern Company subsidiary
Southern Power.
The Tranquillity solar facility, which is expected
to generate enough electricity to power approximately 50,000 homes, is
sited on 1,900 acres of retired agricultural land in Fresno County.
Long-term PPAs with off-takers including Southern California Edison
Electricity and the associated renewable energy
credits (RECs) produced by the Tranquillity solar facility will be sold
under long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to off-takers including
Southern California Edison (SCE).
“The Tranquillity solar facility is the product of
long-term collaboration with financial partners, local communities and
other stakeholders,” said Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Canadian Solar.
“This milestone is a testament to our commitment to
the communities and ecosystems where we operate, which is a critical
ingredient of our project development success.”
