Canada (RES Canada), a developer of renewable energy projects in Canada, has
completed SunE Rutley, Ontario’s first large-scale solar Feed-In-Tariff (FIT)
project, located in Ingleside, Ontario.
“RES Canada is proud to have constructed Ontario’s
first large-scale solar FIT project. Rutley Solar demonstrates RES Canada’s
robust construction capabilities, and puts a spotlight on the significant
knowledge and expertise we offer to our clients,” said Peter Clibbon, Vice
President of RES Canada.
Ontario’s FIT program was established by the Ontario
Power Authority (OPA) to stimulate investment in renewable energy projects in
the province.
SunEdison Canada has developed the10 MW Rutley Solar
project. The project is comprised of 40,436 solar panels covering approximately
100 acres. Electricity produced by SunE Rutley will feed into the Hydro One
Network (HONI).
“SunEdison is proud to deliver the first
utility-scale PV project under the FIT program and proud of the work
accomplished with RES Canada. Together along with the OPA, we are changing the
way people think about renewable energy by creating sustainable jobs,
stimulating local economies and by providing clean affordable solar energy
solutions to the citizens of Ontario,” said Michael Dilworth, general
manager, SunEdison Canada.
Construction of SunE Rutley began in August 2011 and RES
Canada successfully completed the project in early March 2012.
