In the latest financial announcement, Canadian Solar said its total solar project development pipeline was 24.7GWp as of 31 January 2023, up from 24.4GWp in a year earlier. The pipeline included 1.8GWp under construction, with 1.4GWp in Latin America, 89MWp in EMEA, 36MWp in Japan, and the remaining 250MWp in China.

A total of 4.9GWp were backlog projects, and 18.6GWp were in advanced early stages.

“We achieved significant growth and profitability improvements throughout 2022.
