expected to begin in 2017 and the project will begin providing power to
MCE by late 2018.
“We're proud to be working with Recurrent Energy to
grow California's solar industry, helping to power economic strength,
job creation and tackle climate change by transitioning our communities
to clean energy,” said Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE.
“This contract award further expands our contracted
pipeline in the U.S. and marks the third and largest PPA between
Recurrent Energy and MCE,” added Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Canadian Solar.
“MCE's continued leadership in procuring renewable
energy is to be commended. We are pleased to have the opportunity to
continue delivering reliable, cost-competitive solar power to MCE and
their customers.”
