Dec. 23, 2013 - Canadian Solar today announced that Canadian Solar's subsidiary, CSI Holdco LLC sold two utility-scale solar power plants totaling 4.4MW DC (3MW AC) to PSEG subsidiary, PSEG Solar Source. The plants have a 20-year off taking agreement with PG&E. 

The solar installations, together now called the PSEG Shasta Solar Farm,built at over 3,300 feet in elevation between iconic Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta. The closing occurred on December 16, 2013. Construction started in July of 2013, with commercial operation expected in early 2014. Blue Oak Energy is providing turnkey engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") services to complete the projects and will provide operations and maintenance ("O&M") services after completion. 

The PSEG Shasta Solar Farm is expected to include approximately 14,592 Canadian Solar CS6X modules. The solar farm will power approximately 785 homes. Combined, the two plants will offset nearly 6,289 tons of CO², which is equivalent to taking nearly 1,189 automobiles off the road.

"PSEG is pleased to announce this, our 7th utility scale solar project," said Diana Drysdale, President of PSEG Solar Source. "We continue to work with best-in-class partners like Canadian Solar to invest in projects that provide emissions-free solar energy that help meet solar and renewable targets across the U.S."
