Province Dedicates Canada's Largest Solar PV Project
A 23.4 MW solar (photovoltaic) PV facility near the capital of Canada has been dedicated by the provincial minister of energy in Ontario.
George Smitherman, who is also deputy premier of the province, presided at the formal dedication of the Arnprior Solar Project, just west of Ottawa. He was joined by Tristan Grimbert, President and CEO of EDF EN Canada, which has invested C$100 million in the solar PV project as part of the province's Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program.
Smitherman and Grimbert each installed a solar panel during the ceremony, adding to the 312,000 ground-mounted solar PV panels that are being installed at the site. The project will be the largest solar PV site in Canada when it is placed in service later this year, and will double the country’s grid-connected solar PV capacity.
