Northland Power and the Aecon Group have announced a collaboration to construct PV plants generating 60MW of energy. Miwel Construction, a subsidiary of Aecon, is currently building the six PV plants across Ontario, Canada. 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.
Aecon’s chief operating officer Teri McKibbon said about the collaboration with Northland: “Aecon has a long-standing commitment to being a leader in the construction of innovative, renewable and sustainable energy solutions. We are pleased to be working with Northland Power and are confident this contract will showcase our abilities in delivering customized solutions for solar projects.”
