China Sunergy to Procure First 10MW Solar Parks in UK

China Sunergy CSUN today announced that it has completed the transactions to procure its first two solar park projects in the United Kingdom (UK). The two solar parks with a size of about 5 MW each are located in the southwest of Cornwall region. China Sunergy will arrange the construction of the projects, and then own and operate these two solar parks itself. Thanks to the high irradiation of above 1,000 kWh(1) per square meters a year at the site locations in the southwest of Cornwall region, the two solar parks will be able to produce high energy output levels to effectively increase the economic return. The construction of the two solar parks will commence in the forthcoming weeks and is expected to be connected to the grid before April 1, 2013 to be entitled to Renewables Obligation Certificate (ROC) level of 2.0 per MWh.
