agrivoltaic plant
Voltalia (Euronext Paris ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies
announces today the commissioning of the Cabanon agrivoltaic plant
(3 megawatts) located in Saint-Etienne-du-Grès, France (South
Region - Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur).
The first agrivoltaic plant in the South
Region
Cabanon is a 3 megawatt agrivoltaic plant in the
open field and will supply more than 4,000 people with renewable
electricity. Winner of the first part of the CRE Innovation call
for tenders, the plant benefits from a 20-year power sales
agreement.
The plant, which construction started at the end
of the second quarter of 2020, combines agriculture and the
production of electricity from solar photovoltaics on the
same land of 4.5 hectares. Thanks to dynamic solar trackers
which protect the vegetable crops, Voltalia is able to encourage
the dual utilisation of the land. The photovoltaic panels which are
4.5 metres high allow the passage of agricultural machinery and
also protect the crops from extreme weather conditions, thus
optimising agricultural production. It is a first for Voltalia on
this type of project in the South Region.
A participatory funding for this
project
The project benefited from a participatory
funding which contributed to finance the construction and
commissioning of the agrivoltaic plant. 700,000 euros were
collected mostly from residents of the project area and
neighbouring areas.
Next on the agenda: FY 2020
results on March 25, 2021 (before market opening)
