Voltalia wins 33-megawatt floating solar project in Portugal
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies,
announces that it has won its first floating solar power plant
project in Portugal for a total capacity of at
least 33 megawatts backed by a
15-year power sales
contract.
The Cabril project was won following a call for
tenders organised by the Ministry of Energy and Environment of
Portugal. This new floating solar power plant will be installed
near the Cabril dam in Sertã. Its capacity will be in between 33
and 40 megawatts, depending on final optimisation. Spanning 33
hectares, the plant will generate green electricity for a volume
equivalent to the consumption of more than 70,300 inhabitants.
Voltalia will ensure the development,
construction and operation of the plant. The project is expected to
be commissioned no later than 2026. Its revenues will be backed by
a 15-year contract awarded by the Ministry of Energy and
Environment, providing for a price of €41.025 per
megawatthour.
Voltalia has based its Global Solar Hub in
Porto, an operational centre for supervising its solar power plants
located in Europe, Africa and Latin America totaling more than
1.2 gigawatts for itself and for third-party clients. In
addition, Voltalia’s team in Portugal is a recognised supplier of
construction services, having built many projects in Portugal,
including the 49-megawatt Cotovio solar plant, and internationally,
including the 13-megawatt Kooypunt solar project in the
Netherlands, both plants built in 2021. Finally, Voltalia’s
subsidiary, Helexia, a specialist of on-site energy production
(solar rooftops and carports) and energy efficiency, has an
installed capacity in Portugal of 19 megawatts. In total, Voltalia
and Helexia have over 270 employees in Portugal.
“We are very proud to grow our own portfolio in
Portugal and our third-party client business. We are keen to build
our first floating solar power plant. This experience will create
new opportunities in that field in other countries where Voltalia
is active”, said Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
