In Portugal, Voltalia launches construction of 50.6 megawatts
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable
energies, is actively
participating in the energy transition in Portugal with the
construction of five projects, launching Garrido, its new
Portuguese cluster of small solar
power plants.
The Garrido complex includes the following
sites:
- Alcochete, with
a capacity of 23.8 megawatts,
- Pinhal Novo,
with a capacity of 11.8 megawatts,
- Antuzede, with a
capacity of 11.4 megawatts,
- Vale Serrao,
with a capacity of 2.4 megawatts,
- Oliveira de
Frades, with a capacity of 1.2 megawatt.
The electricity will be sold through very long
term sales contracts (corporate PPA) signed with companies that
will consume the electricity. They will thus green their energy
consumption, avoiding the emission of more than 46,685 tons of CO2
into the atmosphere each year.
The Garrido projects, totalling 50.6 megawatts
of capacity, also address the concerns of European countries facing
high energy price inflation and possible energy rationing for large
industrial consumers.
Voltalia now has 71 megawatts of capacity in
operation or under construction in Portugal, including its
subsidiary Helexia, which specialises in on-site energy production
and energy efficiency. Voltalia is also developing
a 33-megawatt floating solar project located near the Cabril
dam in Serta, which was awarded in April 20221.
Voltalia is also a leader in Portugal for solar
construction, equipment supply and maintenance services for
third-party customers, with, for example, 147.3 megawatts recently
completed or under construction, and 129 megawatts currently
under operation-maintenance contracts. Voltalia's team of
photovoltaic specialists in Portugal is also very active
internationally, with construction projects recently completed or
underway in countries such as Ireland, the Netherlands, Greece,
Albania, Mauritania, Kenya, Burundi and Zimbabwe.
"Against the backdrop of energy price tensions
in Europe, the launch of new project construction in Portugal
supports the production of renewable and competitive electricity.
Portugal is constantly improving the share of renewable energy in
the country's energy consumption, with more than 65% of the
electricity consumed in the country coming from renewable energy.
An example to follow!" said Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
