The first solar project of the French Energiequelle subsidiary P&T Technologie is now up and running. The solar park was built in cooperation with EREA Ingenierie in the centrally located town of Decize.
Last year, nuclear power accounted for 62.2% of France''s electricity production, compared to 8.7% from wind and just 4.2% from solar. France installed solar PV capacity at the end of 2022 sat at
This includes in particular two parks: A remote 3-megawatt solar park in the Alps in the Mercantour region at an elevation of over 1,000 metres, and the second largest solar power plant in France with a capacity of 152 MW, located in Marville which has been developed in collaboration with another French developer on a former NATO airport.
Built by French renewable energy giant Neon, the Cestas Solar Park is France’s largest operational solar project at the moment with an enormous 300 MW of total solar capacity. Construction on the park began in late 2014 in Cestas, near the French border with Portugal, and the park came online in December 2015.
The 67.5 MW Gabardan Solar Park in the Landes region of Southwestern France is another French solar project which uses First Solar’s advanced thin-film PV modules. The park was developed by EDF Energies Nouvelles, and construction was contracted out to Schneider Electric.
The Toul-Rosières Solar Park was the largest solar project in the world when its construction finished in June 2012, and it remains France’s second-largest solar PV plant today. Designed and built by EDF Energies Nouvelles, the plant produces solar power via 1.4 million cutting-edge thin-film solar modules from American manufacturer First Solar.
The 29 MW capacity project is set to be the largest solar carport in France when it comes online in October 2022, covering enough space to house more than 10,000 cars beneath its canopy of PV modules. The carport would directly supply the nearby Stellantis factory with electricity, and is expected to be able to meet 30% of its power needs.
The PV plant is Ile-de-France’s largest solar PV facility to date, boasting 20.3 MW of capacity and over 58,000 installed solar modules. Developer Engie SA funded 60% of the plant’s total investment cost of €18.8 million, with 20% coming from the French SGEIF and the remaining 20% crowd-funded from Marcoussis residents.
