December 16, 2015 8:31 AM EST

Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR) (ASUR), a privatized airport group in Mexico and operator of Cancun Airport and eight other airports in southeast Mexico, as well as a 50% JV partner in Aerostar Airport Holdings, LLC, operator of the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, announced an agreement today with SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWR) (SunPower) for 36 megawatts of solar power to serve ASUR's operations in Mexico. ASUR will buy power generated by the solar power plant under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with SunPower.

"We anticipate that this cost-competitive solar power from SunPower will offset expected increases in the cost of electricity from fossil fuel sources over the long-term," said Adolfo Castro, Chief Executive Officer of ASUR. "As a member of the Dow Jones Emerging Markets Sustainability Index, this is a critical step in further reducing the carbon footprint of our airports. Through our energy efficiency efforts to-date we have reduced energy per passenger by 34 percent over the past six years. This PPA will allow ASUR to cover 100 percent of its energy requirements as of the date of this announcement with solar power, an important milestone in our sustainability strategy. By supporting operational efficiencies as well as our sustainability goals, this agreement is a win for ASUR's employees, customers and shareholders and for the communities in which we live and work."

SunPower expects to start construction on this 36-megawatt phase of a solar plant in Mexico in 2016. Once the project is operational, SunPower will provide operations and maintenance services, including monitoring power plant production.

"Increasingly, off-site solar is an option selected by businesses that want to take advantage of the value and benefits of solar, but lack available land at their own facilities to generate the amount of power they need to serve demand," said Jorg Heinemann, SunPower Executive Vice President, Global Power Plants. "We will be providing cost-effective solar power for ASUR's airports in Mexico, taking advantage of this country's abundant solar resource. SunPower is proud to partner with ASUR in increasing Mexico's solar power capacity, as represented by this significant agreement."

At the site, SunPower plans to design and build a SunPower® Oasis® Power Plant system. Oasis is SunPower's fully integrated, modular solar power block solution for utility-scale solar projects that is designed to optimize land use and is engineered for rapid, cost-effective installation. The technology includes SunPower's proprietary robotic solar panel cleaning capability that uses 75 percent less water than traditional cleaning methods and can help improve system performance by up to 15 percent.

SunPower Awarded Approximately 500 Megawatts of Solar in Mexico's First Electricity Auction


SAN JOSE, Calif., April 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWR) announced today that, under Mexico's first electricity power auction, the company has been awarded power purchase agreements with CFE, Mexico's state-owned electric utility, to deliver one terawatt-hour of energy, equivalent to approximately 500 megawatts, over the term of the agreements. The auction was held as a result of Mexico's sweeping energy sector reform, which opened the market for energy companies to compete as generation providers.

SunPower's awards from the auction include almost 400 megawatts in Yucatan and more than 100 megawatts in Guanajuato, and their associated clean energy certificates. Based on the auction results released by Mexico's National Center for Energy Control, or CENACE, SunPower won approximately 20 percent of the total energy, and 25 percent of the solar energy, awarded from the energy auction. Project development and construction is contingent on factors including contract execution.

"With more than seven gigawatts of solar power systems around the world using our high performance technology, SunPower has the experience and expertise to deliver reliable, cost-competitive solar power to serve Mexico's growing energy demand," said Tom Werner, SunPower President and CEO. "SunPower is proud to have this opportunity to partner with CFE to accelerate Mexico's transition to a robust clean energy economy."

In December, SunPower announced a long term power purchase agreement under which the company would provide 36 megawatts of solar power to Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR), a privatized airport group in Mexico and operator of Cancun Airport and eight other airports in southeast Mexico. SunPower expects to start construction this year and, once the project is operational, the company will provide operations and maintenance services, including monitoring power plant production.

SunPower has operated in Mexico since 2011, and has a manufacturing facility in Mexicali that produces more than one gigawatt of high efficiency SunPower® solar panels annually. SunPower panels manufactured in Mexicali were the first and only solar panels in the world to achieve Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Silver designation for their sustainable manufacturing practices. Ninety-nine percent of the waste generated from SunPower's Mexicali facility is diverted from landfills, making it the first of any industry in Mexico to be third-party verified as landfill-free.

SunPower Acquires AUO's Stake in Malaysian Joint Venture

Solar cell factory to support continued global demand growth

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolving its partnership that began in 2010, SunPower Corp. announced today that it is purchasing AUO's portion of the two companies' joint venture which manufactures solar cells at an 800 megawatt (MW) fabrication facility in Melaka, Malaysia.

"The solar industry expects continued growth for the foreseeable future, as solar power becomes increasingly cost effective in many countries," said Tom Werner, SunPower President and CEO. "Acquiring AUO's stake in the Malaysian joint venture gives us sole control over our highest performing solar cell fab and will allow for technology upgrades and further expansion of our high efficiency solar cell technology as market conditions warrant."

Under the stock purchase agreement, SunPower will pay AUO $170 million over the next four years. SunPower has also signed a supply agreement with AUO for 100 MW of SunPower's E-series solar panels. AUO also will remain a wafer supplier to SunPower. This transaction resolves a dispute between the two companies.

"Consistent with our previous comments, SunPower is working to increase our future manufacturing capacity for our highest-value products while driving down costs," Werner said. "We will thoughtfully manage capacity during the current industry volatility, but we are committed to being a leading upstream industry participant over the long term, leveraging our unique, high value solar panel technologies. Purchasing AUO's portion of the Melaka joint venture is an opportunity for us to enable technology upgrades, cost reductions and future expansion consistent with this strategy."

SunPower plans to eventually upgrade the Melaka facility, which has been recognized by the International Energy Agency for its superior energy-efficient design and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) acknowledgement. The facility includes infrastructure built to allow for significant future capacity growth.

Contingent on various conditions, the transaction is expected to close by the end of the month.
