The first multi-buyer Green CPPA in Europe
Ten companies, customers of LCL, will be able to
accelerate their energy transition by directly accessing the green
electricity produced by a new 56-megawatt photovoltaic power plant
developed by Voltalia for this purpose
Ten companies are joining this
innovative CPPA, designed jointly by Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN
code: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies,
and LCL, the leading bank for small and medium-sized
companies which is committed to the energy
transition of its customers. Through this CPPA, these 10 companies,
along with LCL, will share 100% of the electricity produced by a
new photovoltaic power plant over the next 20 years.
Voltalia will develop and operate this 56
megawatt power plant located in the south of
France, which is also home to a pastoral activity that promotes
local development. For its part, LCL will provide
the guarantee mechanism and common rules to ensure the solvency and
proper functioning of this grouping throughout the duration of the
project.
At the end of 2020, LCL and Voltalia joined
forces on an innovative project to enable large and medium-sized
companies, among the most sensitive to the issues of transition and
energy mix, to benefit from contracts securing their long-term
supply of renewable electricity, produced in France and based on
guaranteed capacities and prices.
One year later, LCL and Voltalia announce that
10 french companies, leaders in their sectors of activity, have
adhered to the values of the project by subscribing to the first
multi-buyer Green CPPA available on the market.
In alphabetical order :
Air France, Bonduelle, Daco Bello, Groupe
Fournier, Gerflor, Isigny-Sainte-Mère, Laiterie de Saint-Denis de
l’Hôtel, Menissez, Paprec, Serge Ferrari.

This initiative paves the way for new
developments in corporate energy transition and independence at a
time when these two factors are in the spotlight.
"This project was born of the desire to give our
corporate customers direct and competitive access to green energy
of guaranteed origin, volume and price. It was a daring challenge,
but everyone's enthusiasm enabled us to overcome the obstacles and
bring this first Green CPPA to life. Many thanks to the 10
participating companies who have demonstrated a first-rate
environmental commitment and a remarkable forefront spirit. This
CPPA is also further proof of LCL's commitment to provide concrete
support to its corporate customers in their efforts to achieve the
energy transition and sustainable economy, as supported by the LCL
Smart-Business open-banking program", said Olivier Nicolas, Member
of the Executive commitee Corporates - Wealth - ESG.
"Voltalia is a company whose objective is to
offer renewable and competitive energy to as many people as
possible. This is why it is a pioneer in setting up a multi-buyer
Green CPPA that is unprecedented in Europe, enabling companies of
different sizes to become involved in the energy transition", said
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
