Recurrent, which his owned by Japan’s Sharp, entered Australia in 2010 – its first push outside of North America.

Recurrent will not bin the dozen or so utility-scale PV projects it has under development in Australia, but it will close its offices in Sydney and shift management of those projects to the US, according to a local press report.

The decision was communicated by Colin Liebmann, Recurrent’s acting vice president in Australia, to colleagues in the Australian solar sector in a recent email, the report says.
