Recurrent Energy, a Canadian Solar subsidiary, has closed on a $500 million investment by BlackRock through a fund managed by its Climate Infrastructure business.

The transaction, announced in January, has been completed following the receipt of the second and final payment. The first payment took place in June. As agreed between the parties, BlackRock’s total investment has reached $500 million, representing 20% of the outstanding fully diluted shares of Recurrent Energy on an as-converted basis. Canadian Solar will continue to own the remaining majority shares of Recurrent Energy.

“We value our partnership with BlackRock and appreciate their commitment,” says Ismael Guerrero, CEO of Recurrent Energy.

“This strategic partnership positions Recurrent Energy at the forefront of the renewable energy industry, providing the financial strength necessary to continue developing key solar and energy storage projects globally, while also supporting our mission to deliver clean, reliable and affordable power to the world, today and tomorrow.”

The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others.  This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels.  Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
