World's Largest Solar Farm (to date)


Behold! The world's largest solar farm at 80MW, generating enough power to meet the needs of approximately 12 000 homes. Where is this you may ask? The sunny state of California, tech savvy Tokyo or the green tech crucible of China? All good guesses but this farm is found in Sarnia, Ontario, and was a joint project between Enbridge and First Solar.

The contract for this farm is not under the new FIT program but its predecessor the RESOP program. Thus, the next time you may feel that Ontario is dropping the environmental torch, just remember Sarnia Solar!
