Canadian Solar has completed the sale of its 68 MWp Aguascalientes solar project in Mexico to BlackRock Infrastructure Fund II.

Canadian Solar developed, arranged construction and long-term project financing, built and energized the project in January 2019. Powered by 200,000 Canadian Solar high-efficiency poly modules CS6U-P, the solar power plant is expected to generate 145 GWh of electricity annually, enough to power 20,690 households and offset 72,700 tons of carbon dioxide emission each year.

The electricity generated will be sold under a 15-year power purchase agreement for energy and capacity, and 20-year for Clean Energy Certificates with Mexico's state-owned utility.

Canadian Solar will provide operations and maintenance services to the plant, starting in the third year of operations.
