Canadian Solar Will Start Supplying Solar Energy to Usiminas with the Construction of a New Photovoltaic Solar Plant to Be Located in Goiás, with a Capacity of 381 MWp

On Friday (25), Canadian Solar announced that it has entered into a partnership to supply energy to Usiminas through a new solar energy complex located in Goiás. According to Usiminas, the contract signed with Canadian Solar estimates the delivery of 30 MW of solar energy on average over 15 years, starting in a 3-year timeframe. This is equivalent to about 12% of the energy volume used by the steel company.

To meet the demand of the partnership with Usiminas, Canadian Solar will build a solar power plant with a capacity of 381 MWp in the municipality of Goiás, Luziânia, with an investment of R$ 1.35 billion. The construction of the solar power plant is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2024 and should start operations in January 2025.

Once operational, the solar energy complex is expected to generate a capacity of 790 GWh of renewable energy annually, which is enough to power 432,700 households. Canadian Solar stated that this is the first corporate PPA contract signed directly with an industrial client in the form of self-generation.
