Construction of the farm will begin in Q3 2014, and is expected to be fully operational in by Q3 2015. This is Canadian Solar’s second EPC agreement in connection with a solar project developed by Samsung, and represents Phase II of Samsung’s Green Energy Investment Agreement (GEIA) solar project development in Ontario, which totals 300MWAC.
