Being financed by Connor Clark & Lunn Infrastructure and developed by Samsung Renewable Energy, the plant will feature 440,000 Canadian Solar CS6X high performance modules in the Haldimand County with commissioning set for 2015.
Canadian Solar will produce necessary modules and medium voltage power stations at its new London, Ontario facility, which will also manufacture critical equipment for other Samsung solar projects in Ontario.
Canadian Solar chairman and CEO Shawn Qu said that the company has marked the start of construction phase of the project and once operational, it is claimed to be Canada’s largest PV project.
"We are highly confident in our team’s ability to complete this large-scale project on schedule and on budget, while creating new employment opportunities and achieving the optimum power efficiency generation target levels anticipated to be delivered by the project," Qu added.
