Canadian Solar has commenced the commercial operation of its 68 MW Aguascalientes solar project in Mexico.
The Aguascalientes solar project will utilize over 200,000 high-efficiency CS6U-P poly modules. The project is expected to meet the electricity demand of approximately 60,000 local homes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 30,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
Canadian Solar competed for and won the Aguascalientes project in the first Long Term Auction in Mexico in 2016. According to the contract agreement, the electricity generated will be sold to Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) under a 15-year PPA for energy and capacity, and 20-year for Clean Energy Certificates.
