Indiana is set to receive a new large-scale cell production plant as the region experiences a surge in energy and solar manufacturing. Canadian Solar, a leading provider of solar energy and storage solutions, is constructing an advanced solar photovoltaic (PV) cell manufacturing facility in Jeffersonville.
This state-of-the-art plant represents an investment of over $800 million and will generate 1,200 high-tech jobs once it reaches full production capacity. Governor Eric Holcomb stated that Indiana’s robust advanced manufacturing industry positions the state to play a key role in the global shift towards renewable energy sources such as batteries, solar power, and hydrogen.
The upcoming facility will produce cells for use at another recently announced 5 GW module assembly plant located in Mesquite, Texas. Production at the Jeffersonville site is expected to commence by late 2025.
