The projects are located in Smith Falls, Belleville as well as Burke’s Falls and, once completed,  each will generate 10MW of energy. The plants are each equipped with more than 40,000 PV modules, on sites of nearly 85 acres.

The projects are part of Northland Power’s 130MW Ontario portfolio and all six plants are expected to be completed in 2013. The energy will be sold under Ontario’s FiT program.
