EDF Renewables North America has tapped Canadian Solar to supply up to 7 gigawatts (GW) of solar modules, the renewable energy company said Aug. 9.
The N-type Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) solar modules will be produced at Canadian Solar’s new factory in Mesquite, Texas, the Ontario-based company’s first U.S. manufacturing facility.
The agreement was reached as EDF Renewables aims to double its global renewable capacity to 50 GW by 2030, up from 28 GW, and Canadian Solar boosts its supply of solar modules to meet growing clean energy needs. It also comes as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentivizes growth.
“We are genuinely excited about our capacity to develop and build solar projects utilizing 'Made-in-USA' solar modules aligning with IRA guidelines,” EDF Renewables North America CEO Tristan Grimbert said. “This substantial commitment enhances our ability to minimize risks linked to trade uncertainties and supply chain fluctuations, ultimately propelling our projects towards successful realization.”
Canadian Solar said its Mesquite facility will have an annual output of 5 GW when it is fully ramped up. Production is scheduled to start in fourth-quarter 2023.
