Canadian Solar Inc. has secured favorable Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) from the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge and the Environmental Agency of Castilla y León for the development of its six photovoltaic solar projects totaling 685 MW located in the Andalucía and Castilla y León regions of Spain.
The EIA assesses the direct and indirect impacts of a power project based on a range of environmental factors, including the impacts on the local community, biodiversity, land, soil, water, air, climate, landscape, and cultural heritage. The EIA procedure ensures that environmental protection and considerations are taken into account from the very beginning of project development activities. The process also fosters public engagement and provides transparency in the decision-making process.
All projects are expected to start construction in 2023 and will be fully operational by 2025. The Company's total portfolio of solar photovoltaic parks under development in Spain amounts to more than 2 GW located across six autonomous communities.
