Canadian Solar Inc. has introduced that its majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar Co., Ltd. (" CSI Solar") signed a 256 MW solar module contract with SOLA Group, a Cape Town-based independent power producer. The 256 MWs will supply the first two biggest utility-scale solar energy projects in South Africa, which are based on private power purchase agreements (PPAs).

The 200 MW solar project is expected to give approximately 40% of Tronox's South African electricity demands. Tronox claims that the project stands for a significant progression to satisfy its emission reduction targets.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) solar is set for a boost in South Africa, with financial support now lined up for a new pipeline.
