Canadian Solar Inc. and SkyPower Limited announced on March 16, their agreement to build a 10.5 MW solar park in Thunder Bay.
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement is in addition to two previous EPC agreements signed by both companies in Dec. 2010.
The previous 18.5 MW EPC agreement consists of a 10.5 solar park in Napanee, home to First Light I, with the second 8.5 MW solar park located on Thunder Bay International Airport Authority land.
This thirds 10.5 MW project will be on Fort William First Nation Land.
Once fully operational, they combined 30 MW solar parks are expected to create hundreds of new clean energy jobs.
"In continuing with the growth of Canadian Solar and our working partnership with SkyPower, this next collaboration strengthens our position as a leader in turnkey solution providers for utility scale and commercial systems in Ontario," said Dr. Shawn Qu, CEO and President of Canadian Solar in a press release.
The construction of all three projects is expected to reach completion by third quarter 2011.
