Canadian Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy has entered a ten-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with a US-based technology company.
The agreement involves procuring renewable energy from Recurrent Energy’s Tordesillas solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Valladolid, Castilla y León, Spain, which has an installed capacity of 300MW.
The project aims to bolster Spain’s renewable energy leadership and assist in meeting its decarbonisation targets.
It is expected to be operational by 2026 and to generate 620 gigawatt hours (GWh) annually, powering 188,000 households and reducing CO₂ emissions by 161,000 tonnes annually. Recurrent Energy plans to own and operate the solar project post-energisation.
Recurrent is expanding its global solar PV and energy storage projects. This expansion aligns with the company’s commitment to enhancing its renewable energy footprint worldwide.
In Spain, the company has a development pipeline exceeding 2GW of solar projects and 60 megawatt hours (MWh) of battery energy storage.
