The company plans to break ground on an industrial site in the second quarter of 2026, with production starting in 2028. The plan to build solar cells and assemble solar panels, which Awendio Solaris says would create 1,000 manufacturing and R&D jobs, is contingent on securing power supply and financing. (The Logic)
Talking point: Founded in 2023, Awendio Solaris says it is “building North America’s largest giga-scale cell and module factories” in part through public-private partnerships. It says it will each year produce solar equipment that can generate up to 2,500 megawatts in the Montreal facility’s first phase, with hopes of scaling up to double that—nearly as much as Hydro-Québec’s Churchill Falls generating station. Three Quebec First Nations are partnering with Awendio Solaris, and will invest in the project, but the company is still working to line up other financing. It also hasn’t yet secured a power supply for the facility from Hydro-Québec.
