Sempra Renewables acquires California solar project from Canadian Solar Subsidiary
Recurrent Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian Solar has announced that Sempra Renewables, a unit of Sempra Energy, has acquired its 200 MW Great Valley Solar project, previously called Tranquillity 8 in California.
"We are pleased to work with a market-leading partner like Sempra Renewables on this transaction," said Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and chief executive officer of Canadian Solar. "Recurrent Energy's strong portfolio of U.S. solar assets continues to create value for our customers and shareholders."
The Great Valley Solar project, currently under construction in Fresno County, is located on approximately 1,600 acres adjacent to the 200 MW Tranquillity Solar Facility. The Tranquillity facility was completed by Recurrent Energy in late 2016 and is majority-owned by a subsidiary of Southern Power.
The project, which is expected to be fully completed by Sempra Renewables in the third quarter 2018, should generate enough clean electricity to meet the energy needs of approximately 50,000 homes. Sempra Renewables has assumed construction of the project and will operate the facility, which is fully contracted under four independent long-term, power purchase agreements.
