Canadian Solar\u00a0is building a state-of-the-art solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing plant with an annual output of 5 GW, equivalent to approximately 20,000 high-power modules per day. \u00a0The Jeffersonville facility represents a projected investment of more than\u00a0$800 million\u00a0and will create approximately 1,200 skilled high-tech jobs once production is fully ramped up. The solar cells produced at this facility will be used at the previously announced 5 GW module assembly plant in\u00a0Mesquite, Texas. Production at the\u00a0Jeffersonville\u00a0facility is expected to begin by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Indiana’s\u00a0strong advanced manufacturing sector positions the state to help lead the global energy transition, developing and powering new solutions in batteries, solar and hydrogen,” said\u00a0Governor\u00a0Eric Holcomb<\/strong>. “Canadian Solar’s\u00a0new\u00a0U.S.\u00a0location in\u00a0Jeffersonville\u00a0will put our skilled\u00a0Hoosier\u00a0workforce at the center of cultivating solar power, making energy efficient panels more accessible to consumers across the country.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

United States\u00a0Senator\u00a0Mike Braun<\/strong>\u00a0stated, “Indiana\u00a0is a proud leader both in the Midwest and the country in manufacturing and innovation. I’m pleased to know that this new solar manufacturing facility opening in\u00a0Jeffersonville\u00a0will create many new jobs for Hoosiers and stimulate the local economy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasizing the importance of this new facility,\u00a0Thomas Koerner, Senior Vice President of\u00a0Canadian Solar<\/strong>, said, “Establishing this factory is a key milestone that will enable us to better serve our\u00a0U.S.\u00a0customers with the most advanced technology in the industry. This is the second of the anticipated long-term investments we expect to make in the\u00a0U.S.\u00a0as we think strategically about a local, sustainable and clean energy supply chain and to fulfill the long-term requirements of the local-content rules of the recently established\u00a0IRA. We thank the\u00a0State of Indiana,\u00a0Clark County, and the\u00a0City of Jeffersonville\u00a0for their critical support and look forward to working with them as we grow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
