Ontario’s Thunder Bay Airport Solar Park has been chosen as a finalist in Intersolar North America’s 2012 Solar Project Award competition. The project, owned and developed by SkyPower and EPC-contracted to Canadian Solar was hand-selected by an expert panel as one of entries under the “Solar Projects North America” category.

The Thunder Bay Airport project is one of the first utility-scale solar installations on airport authority land. The project was commissioned in October 2011 and, over the next 20 years, is anticipated to produce power for 15,000 homes.
