Canadian Solar and Biosar Australia will jointly provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services to a 256 MWp solar power project in Australia for Total Eren, a French Independent Power Producer (IPP).
The project, Kiamal Solar Farm, is located in Northwest Victoria and has secured several Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with energy retailers such as Flow Power and Alinta Energy and a 20-year PPA with Mars Australia.
Construction is planned to start in October 2018 and it is expected to reach commercial operation by mid-2019. Over 720,000 of Canadian Solar's 1500V high efficiency KuMax modules (CS3U-P) will be installed on single-axis solar tracking systems. When completed, it is expected to be the single largest solar power plant in Victoria, Australia, and will produce enough electricity to meet the needs of more than 133,500 Victorian homes and displacing more than 610,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
