TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has launched its
largest photovoltaic solar power plant in France, with a capacity
of 55 megawatts (MW).
The solar farm, located northeast of Gien (Loiret), comprises
126,000 photovoltaic panels spread over 75 hectares. The plant will
produce around 64 GWh per year, equivalent to the annual
electricity consumption of 38,000 people and keep more than 550,000
tons of CO(2) out of the atmosphere during its lifetime.
This photovoltaic project is part of a sustainable, responsible
approach designed to support the development of renewable energies
in France. Hence, this project includes:
-- A participative financing: To involve site neighbors and share the value
created by these projects with the regions, the plant was built with a
participative financing in an amount of EUR2,200,200 to which 212
residents of the Loiret and surrounding departments largely contributed.
-- A plan to protect biodiversity: The Company has put in place the measures
required to preserve biodiversity, including the creation of bat shelters
and the construction of a pond to promote amphibian reproduction.
TotalEnergies teams will operate and maintain the plant locally
throughout its 30-year operating lifespan.
"TotalEnergies once again confirms its commitment to the
development of renewable energies in partnership with the regions.
I would like to thank all of the project stakeholders who helped
develop our largest solar farm in France. This commissioning
contributes to France's energy transition and is a further step
towards our goal of reaching 4 GW of renewable generation capacity
by 2025. It reinforces our commitment to be a major player in
renewable energy in France" said Thierry Muller, CEO of
TotalEnergies Renewables France.
Furthermore, in mid-November, TotalEnergies was awarded 51
megawatts (MW) of solar projects in the 10th round of the CRE 4
(French Energy Regulatory Commission) tender. The eight winning
projects will be commissioned by the end of 2023 and then operated
and maintained by TotalEnergies' teams, whose local workforce is
expected to grow. In the last ten bidding periods, TotalEnergies
has won 707 MW of solar projects, placing it second among all
developers in France.
