Community choice aggregators Sonoma Clean Power and MCE (formerly Marin Clean Energy) are the purchasers of the electricity from the Mustang project under long-term power purchase agreements. Mustang became the first utility-scale solar project fully contracted with CCAs to obtain non-recourse financing in October of 2015.
“We are thrilled to partner with Goldman Sachs on the sale of the Mustang solar project, and this transaction again demonstrates Canadian Solar’s ability to attract top tier investors,” said Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and chief executive of Canadian Solar. “Constructed with a primarily local workforce, the Mustang project was a prime example of how solar project development benefits the surrounding communities.”
Located in California’s Central Valley, Mustang produces enough electricity to power approximately 45,000 homes. Canadian Solar will continue to provide asset management services to the project.
