This 18MW solar power project, which is expected to be in operation in March 2015, is located in the boundary between Marumori-machit in Miyagi prefecture and Soma city in Fukushima prefecture (pictured here) , covering an area of 80 hectares.
Canadian Solar, a global solar power company, has been awarded a module-supply agreement to provide 18 MW of photovoltaic (PV) modules to Hitachi, for a solar power project in Japan.
The project is owned by Eurus Energy Holdings Corp., with Hitachi as its engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company.
This 18MW solar power project, which is expected to be in operation in March 2015, is located in the boundary between Marumori-machit in Miyagi prefecture and Soma city in Fukushima prefecture, covering an area of 80 hectares. Canadian Solar will supply approximately 73,556 pieces of its 60-cell high efficiency CS6P255P modules with power output of 255Wp for this project.
This solar power plant will power approximately 5,000 homes and is expected to displace approximately 9,200 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Electricity to be produced in the next 20 years will be sold to Tohoku Electric Power Co.
