Recurrent Energy Secures PPA For 100 MW Liberty Solar Project

• The PPA has actually been signed with an Industry Consortium in Texas and also the solar project is expected to be operational in 2024.
• 100 MW of solar energy will be provided to EMD Electronics, Biogen Inc., Wayfair Inc., Autodesk, Inc. as well as a large medical care firm.

Canadian Solar-owned Recurrent Energy has authorized an aggregated virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Texas-based industries for 100% of the production capacity of its Liberty Solar project.
