GOLDBECK SOLAR and NEOEN celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony for the Fox Coulée solar park in Alberta, Canada

TORONTO, CANADA – GOLDBECK SOLAR, a leading provider of large-scale solar energy solutions, is pleased to partner with NEOEN, a global leader in renewable energy, to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Fox Coulée solar park in Starland County, Alberta. This momentous event not only marks NEOEN’s first solar park in Canada, but also represents GOLDBECK SOLAR’s largest project in North America to date.

The Fox Coulée project, with an impressive 93 megawatt peak (MWp) capacity, fits perfectly with GOLDBECK SOLAR’s goals. It will make a significant contribution to the ambitious goal of the Province of Alberta and the federal government to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. The Fox Coulée solar park will generate enough electricity to power more than 20,000 homes, making a significant impact on the local community’s energy needs. In addition, the operation of the park will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of around 70,000 tons per year, underlining the commitment to environmental sustainability. The construction of the Fox Coulée solar park is a testament to the successful collaboration between GOLDBECK SOLAR and NEOEN, who share a common vision and values. “NEOEN’s trust and confidence in our capabilities has been instrumental in making this project a success. We are honored to have been awarded the turnkey construction of this significant solar park, which is a testament to our expertise, innovation and commitment to environmental stewardship,” said David Pichard, CEO of GOLDBECK SOLAR North America.

The Fox Coulée solar park will not only provide clean energy to the region, but will also boost the local economy by creating hundreds of jobs during the construction and operational phases. GOLDBECK SOLAR is proud to be part of this project that will promote sustainable development and prosperity in Starland County. “We sincerely congratulate NEOEN on this milestone,” said Michiel Vanhoutte, COO of GOLDBECK SOLAR. “This groundbreaking symbolizes a new chapter in our collaboration and a brighter future powered by clean energy. Together with NEOEN, we are making a positive difference in the world by facilitating the transition to renewable energy solutions. We are committed to delivering exceptional solar projects around the world and the Fox Coulée solar park is an example of our commitment to a sustainable future.” The Fox Coulée solar park is scheduled to be fully operational in early 2024. Its completion will mark the beginning of a long and successful synergy between GOLDBECK SOLAR and NEOEN, not only in Canada but also in numerous countries around the world. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to a greener and more sustainable planet.
