Eco Factor: Solar farm to generate 80MW of renewable power.
Enbridge Inc. and First Solar have announced an agreement to expand the Sarnia Solar Project in Canada from its current generation capacity of 20MW to 80MW. The upgrade would cost about CDN $300 million. Once completed, the project would provide enough energy to power about 12,800 homes.
The upgraded project will feature 1.3 million thin film modules provided by First Solar, and will help save the equivalent of 39,000 tons of CO2 from being emitted. The Sarnia Solar Project will cover approximately 240 acres of land, and annual power generation is expected to be about 120 million KWh.
