Canadian Solar Inc. today announced that it has acquired six solar power projects totaling 46MW in the United Kingdom.

Four projects totaling 40.5MW DC are under construction, and are expected to be connected to the grid in March 2015. An additional two projects totaling 5.5MW DC are expected to start construction before the end of February, and are expected to be connected to the grid in the second quarter of 2015.

"We are delighted to enter the United Kingdom solar energy market with the acquisition of this portfolio of projects. The United Kingdom is an important and rapidly growing solar market and these transactions provide us with an attractive opportunity to leverage our expertise and balance sheet to redeploy capital to support our growth and create value for our shareholders," said Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Solar. "We continue to evaluate several opportunities to expand our solar pipeline in the United Kingdom and look forward to making further announcements in the quarters ahead."
