In March 2018, Canadian Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy completed the sale of its stake in three solar photovoltaic projects in southern California, US, to Korea Electric Power (KEPCO).

Neither company disclosed financial details of the transaction, but KEPCO said it marked the company’s largest investment in the US solar market.

Under the deal, KEPCO acquired a stake in Astoria (100MW AC/131MW peak), Astoria 2 (75MW AC/100MW peak) and Barren Ridge (60MW AC/78MW peak) photovoltaic projects.
