Voltalia launches the construction of the mixed photovoltaic
production and battery storage plant at Sable Blanc in French
Guyana
Voltalia (Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0011995588), an
international player in renewable energies,
announces today the start
of construction of the Sable Blanc project, a
combined photovoltaic production and battery storage plant. With
this launch, Voltalia is strengthening its Toco complex, the
largest battery storage complex in France
with a capacity of 25.6 megawatt
hours.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, said: "We are
very pleased to continue our development in the territory where
Voltalia was born in 2005: Guyana. This new project illustrates our
ability to support Guyana's energy transition and our expertise in
battery storage technology”.
The project, named Sable Blanc, combines a
five-megawatt photovoltaic power plant with a 10.6 megawatt hours
lithium-ion battery storage unit. This combination will allow the
electricity produced during the day to be injected into the grid
after dark, while improving the stability of electricity
production. The future plant will produce 7,430 megawatt hours
annually, equivalent to the electricity needs of 3,090 people in
Western Guyana. The project is highly anticipated to help improve
the electrical system in a region where electricity demand is
growing rapidly, and to replace existing diesel generators in Saint
Laurent du Maroni.
Sable Blanc is located near the ocean coast and
the border with Suriname in the commune of Mana at a place called
"Organabo" on the plot of land next to the Mana Energie Services
storage plant commissioned by Voltalia last december. This region
benefits from a very high level of solar radiation. Sable Blanc is
scheduled to be commissioned at the end of 2022 and will benefit
from a guaranteed sales tariff for 20 years.
The Toco complex of which the Sable Blanc
project is a part will thus increase to 19.3 megawatts with a
capacity of 25.6 megawatt hours.
Voltalia currently operates solar, hydro, biomass
and storage power plants in French Guiana with a combined capacity
of 31 megawatts, covering nearly 10% of the consumption of the main
electricity grid.
