Auchan signs a global
partnership with Voltalia and its
subsidiary Helexia
to reduce its consumption of
conventional energies
and to supply
with green energy
Auchan Retail
and Voltalia (Euronext
Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588) have
signed a partnership
agreement. Voltalia and its
subsidiary Helexia will
support Auchan Retail on
all its sites to
contribute to its energy transition
and to achieve
its climate goals.
Building on previous collaborations in energy
services and renewable electricity supply (solar rooftop production
and corporate PPAs) over the past 10 years, and after one year of
renewed on-field trials in several countries, Auchan Retail and
Voltalia now want to accelerate and establish a broader and more
sustainable partnership.
It will be a significant contribution for Auchan
Retail to achieve its carbon footprint and conventional energy
consumption reduction goals. The ambition is to achieve a
100%-renewable energy consumption and to reduce to 40% its
electricity intensity by 2030, compared to 2014 reference year.
In every country where Auchan Retail is present
and where Voltalia and Helexia also are or might be, an analysis of
Auchan's sites will be conducted by Voltalia and Helexia to make
recommendations and jointly agree on the action plan necessary for
Auchan Retail to achieve those objectives.
The partnership includes a collaboration aiming:
energy management, carrying out of energy efficiency works, and
supplying renewable electricity through the construction of on-site
photovoltaic power plants in self-consumption, mostly for Helexia
and the conclusion of contracts for the direct purchase of green
energy (Corporate PPA) for Voltalia.
Edgard Bonte, President of Auchan Retail,
stated: "I am delighted with this strategic and operational
partnership with Voltalia and Helexia. At the end of 2020, the
goals set at COP21 for reducing our energy consumption were met.
With this agreement, we are entering the second stage of our Energy
trajectory. We are accelerating the implementation of our climate
roadmap with partners who share our values and ambitions for the
Planet."
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, commented:
"This global partnership allows us to support Auchan Retail to
achieve the objectives it has set for the next few years. This
alliance is long-term and illustrates a shared and common desire to
accelerate the energy transition of our partners."
Benjamin Simonis, Deputy CEO of Helexia stated:
"This partnership allows to pursue the outstanding work done by
Auchan Retail's teams and to capitalize on Voltalia and Helexia's
expertise by benefiting from the group's excellent geographical
coverage to support our international customers."
