The company had around 100MW of Canadian PV power plant projects on its balance sheet at the end of 2016. 

Canadian Solar has plans to monetize around 1.2GW of PV power plants in the US by the end of 2017, having already sold several PV power plants in China in recent days from a portfolio of around 134MW.

“Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Solar, commented: “This deal demonstrates that we are well on track to monetize our quality solar power plant assets to recycle our capital and strengthen our balance sheet. This is another successful cooperation between Canadian Solar and Concord Green Energy after a previous transaction of 5 solar power plants in Canada.”
