Canadian Solar Begins Work on 26.6 MW Solar Projects in Japan
Canadian Solar, among the globe's biggest solar power business, has actually revealed it has actually begun building and construction on 2 solar photovoltaic (PV) power projects in Japan.
The initial is a 13.6 MWp project in the Ibaraki Prefecture. The project will certainly be powered by 33,098 items of Canadian Solar's high-efficiency MaxPower components. When in operation, the plant is anticipated to produce about 15,901 MWh of tidy, dependable solar electrical power yearly, which will certainly be bought by Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. under a 20-year feed-in-tariff agreement at the price of JPY 32.0 (USD 0.29) per kWh. The Company anticipates the project to get to industrial procedure by mid-2021.
The 2nd project is a 13.0 MW project in the Fukuoka Prefecture. The plant is anticipated to produce roughly 15,250 MWh of solar power yearly, which will certainly be bought by Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc. under a 20-year feed-in-tariff agreement at the price of JPY 36.0 (USD 0.33) per kWh.

We got in the Japanese market in 2009, and also given that 2014, we have actually developed ourselves as one of the leading international programmers out there, having actually cumulatively created as well as attached over 290 MWp in utility-scale nuclear power plant. While brand-new subsidised programs are readied to end by 2021, we have a durable pipe of high feed-in-tariff projects as well as remain to see possibilities provided the Japanese federal government's ongoing initiatives to boost the infiltration of renewable resource."
Lately, the company has actually introduced that it finished the sale of the Yamaguchi Shin Mine, a 56.3 MW functional solar energy plant in the Yamaguchi Prefecture in Japan. Hana Financial Investment, a subsidiary of Hana Financial Group, got the solar energy plant for a business worth of roughly JPY 22.3 billion (around USD 205 million). Canadian Solar anticipates to identify the earnings from the deal in the initial quarter of 2020.

Canadian Solar Gets $55 Mn Financing for its Lavras Solar Project in Brazil
Canadian Solar has actually introduced that it has actually safeguarded 225.2 million Brazilian reais (USD 55 million) non-recourse project funding from Banco do Nordeste do Brasil (BNB) for its Lavras solar energy projects in Brazil. Given that the start of 2019, the company has actually protected BRL 1,007 million (USD 247 million) solar project funding with BNB.
The 152.4 MWp Lavras project will certainly be moneyed over 21 years throughout the building and construction and also procedure stages of the projects. The inflation-linked financial debt linked to the National Consumer Price Index (IPCA) will certainly supply better resources as well as source placement with the Brazilian economic climate.
Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman, and also CEO of Canadian Solar stated, "we are delighted to shut our 5th successive project funding with BNB.

Canadian Solar, Lightsource BP Indication 1.2 GW Module Supply Contract
Canadian Solar, one of the world’& rsquo; s biggest solar energy business, has actually revealed that it has signed a multi-year module supply agreement with Lightsource BP to deliver 1.2 GW of high effectiveness polycrystalline solar modules for tasks in the US and Australia.
Lightsource BP is an international market leader in the development, acquisition and long-term management of large-scale solar jobs and smart energy services.
“& ldquo; We are pleased to be working with Canadian Solar to deliver our worldwide pipeline. They are a bankable and industry-proven partner for our tasks. Our centralised procurement team selected these modules for their high-efficiency efficiency and we eagerly anticipate seeing the satisfying lead to the field soon,” & rdquo; commented Kareen Boutonnat, chief operating officer at Lightsource BP.
The projects will be utilizing Canadian Solar’& rsquo; s polycrystalline bifacial high power BiHiKu( CS3W-PB-AG) and high power HiKu (CS3W-P) modules Bifacial modules create power from both the front and the rear sides of the module, which increases the power output compared to conventional monofacial modules. The really high output of the BiHiKu bifacial modules will maximise the power generation in a minimal area of the plant website, while significantly lowering the Levelised Expense of Electrical Energy (LCOE) of the power plant.
Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and president of Canadian Solar, said, “& ldquo; we are delighted about the strong partnership with Lightsource BP that has actually contributed to the 1.2 GW of module sales commitments. As a solar technology leader, we are working continuously on development.
