Recurrent Energy gives way to the Court Barton solar power plant in the UK, which has entered commercial operation

This solar project, located near Newton Abbot and with an installed capacity of 20 MWp, has begun commercial operation, contributing to the UK's transition to clean energy.

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, November 5th / PRNewswire / -- Canadian Solar Inc. ("Canadian Solar") (Nasdaq ticker: CSIQ) , a subsidiary of Recurrent Energy and a global leader in the development, ownership, and operation of solar and energy storage assets, announced today that Court Barton Solar Farm, located in South Devon County, UK, has begun commercial operations.

The installed capacity of this power station is 20 MWp. It is expected to generate enough electricity each year to meet the clean energy needs of about 8,500 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 6,200 tons annually, which is equivalent to taking about 1,300 cars off the road.

Recurrent Energy CEO Dylan Marx stated: "The UK remains a key market in the energy transition. The commercial operation of projects like Court Barton demonstrates our ability to transform development pipelines into clean energy infrastructure and generate tangible benefits. As part of this project, we have dedicated approximately 16 acres of land to improving lark habitats, which reflects our commitment to responsible project development and biodiversity. We are proud to support the UK's decarbonization goals while creating long-term value through our positive contributions to the communities and environment where we operate."

The company expects that this project will bring a net increase in biodiversity of over 60% ( BNG ), creating opportunities to improve habitats and support local biodiversity. In addition to these environmental benefits, Recurrent Energy also continues to maintain communication with local stakeholders and supports community initiatives, including carrying out trash picking activities on nearby beaches, to make a positive contribution to the local environment.
