Guiana
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, code ISIN:
FR0011995588), an international player in
renewable energies, will
expand its Toco
complex which, thanks to
this new contract,
confirms its position as the
largest battery storage
complex in France with
a capacity of
25.6
megawatt hours.
Voltalia is the sole winner of the fifth period
of the CRE 4 tender for non-interconnected areas for ground-based
solar power plants in French Guiana.
The project, called “Parc Sable Blanc”, combines
a five-megawatt photovoltaic power plant with a lithium-ion battery
storage facility with a capacity of 5 megawatts and of 9.3
megawatt-hours.
Located in the commune of Mana, in the heart of
the very dynamic Western Guiana, close to the ocean coast and the
border with Suriname, “Parc Sable Blanc” was designed to produce
during the day thanks to excellent sunshine and inject its
production on the Guyanese electrical grid during the peak from 7
p.m. to 9 p.m. after sunset.
Fully developed by Voltalia, the “Parc Sable
Blanc” project will also be built and operated by its teams. It
will benefit from a guaranteed selling tariff for 20 years. Once
commissioned in 2023, “Parc Sable Blanc” will increase the power of
the Toco complex to 19.3 megawatts with a capacity of 25.6
megawatt-hours.
Voltalia currently operates solar, hydraulic,
biomass and storage power plants in French Guiana with a combined
capacity of 31 megawatts, allowing the coverage of nearly 10% of
the main electricity grid consumption.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO, concludes: "We are very
proud to have won this new project which once again strengthens our
presence on the territory that saw the birth of Voltalia 16 years
ago. “Parc Sable Blanc” will produce green electricity at a more
competitive cost than thermal electricity. Moreover, in a region in
strong development whose electricity grid, not interconnected,
remains fragile, we wanted to participate in improving the
predictability of electricity production injected into the grid. I
would like to thank our teams very warmly who, through this new
success, continue to make French Guiana an excellent showcase of
Voltalia's expertise and innovation capacity."

Meeting on May 19, 2021
