“The recent launch of several yield cos has increased demand for our solar power plants and we are already seeing higher prices for our projects,” said Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO, Canadian Solar.
“With respect to the possibility of Canadian Solar launching its own yield co, we are evaluating options in the context of our existing late-stage pipeline and we expect to be in a position to make a decision by early 2015,” he added.
