GUELPH, ON, Feb. 29, 2024 \/PRNewswire\/ — Canadian Solar Inc.<\/a> (the “Company” or “Canadian Solar”) (NASDAQ: CSIQ) announced today its pivotal role in powering the Super Bowl LVIII that was held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 11, 2024. The first-ever Super Bowl to be powered entirely by renewable energy, this historic event sourced electricity from the Arrow Canyon<\/a> solar and energy storage project in Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Developed, owned, and operated by\u00a0EDF Renewables, the\u00a0Arrow Canyon\u00a0project uses more than\u00a0600,000\u00a0Canadian Solar photovoltaic solar modules. With a capacity of 275 MW, complemented by a battery energy storage (BESS) facility, the project ensured a seamless and sustainable power supply throughout the\u00a0Super Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The Allegiant Stadium’s\u00a0use of solar power to meet the energy demands of one of the\u00a0U.S.\u00a0sports industry’s showpiece events highlights the viability of renewable energy sources in powering major events and facilities. For both the\u00a0U.S.\u00a0and global markets, the success of this event represents a significant milestone in the transition toward a sustainable energy future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Mr.\u00a0Tristan Grimbert, President and CEO of\u00a0EDF Renewables North America<\/strong>, said, ” We are thrilled that our\u00a0Arrow Canyon\u00a0project successfully powered the first\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0using renewable energy. However, what truly excites us is the attention it has brought to the viability and dependability of coupling solar power with advanced storage technologies, showcasing how renewable energy can seamlessly meet the demands of large-scale events and critical infrastructure. This achievement serves as a testament to the progress we have made in the renewable energy sector and reinforces our commitment to driving the transition towards a greener and more sustainable future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
