Canadian Solar recently announced that it will supply solar modules for Germany's largest solar power plant. Built by GP JOULE GmbH the open-space solar power plant has a specified output of 70 MW and occupies a 152 hectare surface in the Southern Brandenburg region of Eastern Germany.

For this project, GP Joule installed approximately 306,000 solar modules on four fields located in a former lignite mining strip in the East German city of Meuro near Senftenberg. In total, the plant will power 17,500 households with green energy. The financing partners for this project were HSH Nordbank, Unlimited Energy and Luxcara.

Canadian Solar and GP Jóule have cooperated since 2009, with the most recent supply agreement for 97 MW concluded in April. The successfully completed Meuro solar park reinforces this partnership and further strengthens Canadian Solar's position in the German energy market.

"We are proud to see our modules selected for this prestigious landmark project. With this solar power plant, GP Joule is demonstrating on a high quality standard the true large scale potential of solar energy in meeting energy demands worldwide," said Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar.
