Canadian Solar has signed a supply agreement with EDF Renewables North America to deliver 1800MW of high efficiency poly solar modules for PV projects in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Under the terms of the deal, Canadian Solar will supply its bifacial enhanced wafer BiHiKu (CS3W-PB) and enhanced wafer HiKu (CS3W-P) modules to multiple solar projects being developed by EDF Renewables.
The contract is the company’s largest supply deal in its 18-year history and is part of 3GW-plus of contracts for the North American market through 2023.
EDF Renewables North America president and chief executive Tristan Grimbert said: “EDF Renewables North America is pleased to announce this substantial module supply agreement with Canadian Solar.
“The agreement demonstrates our confidence in the bifacial module technology to support our robust pipeline of contracted projects over the next five years.”
Canadian Solar chairman and chief executive Shawn Qu said: “We are excited to partner with EDF Renewables to help them bring a stable supply of clean, reliable solar energy to the North American market.
“As the US market recovers from the uncertainties brought by Section 201 tariffs and rushes to meet the step-down of the investment tax credit deadline, we are seeing a significant rebound of demand in the US solar market which impacts module supply across the entire region.
“This contract continues to strengthen the global partnership between EDF Renewables and Canadian Solar.”
