Southgate Solar Project

In 2015, CC&L Infrastructure invested in the construction of the Southgate Solar Project, a 50-megawatt solar facility located in western Ontario that produces enough clean energy to meet the needs of approximately 8,400 homes in the province each year.

The project achieved commercial operation in 2016 following a twelve month construction period, which employed hundreds of workers from across Ontario in all aspects of the project – from manufacturing and assembly of solar panels and inverters, to site construction, installation and project operations.
