Leroy Merlin chooses Voltalia to supply solar energy to its sites
in France
Leroy Merlin, France's leading home
improvement retail company, and
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an
international player in renewable energies, have announced the
signing of a sales contract for the production
of a new 30-megawatt solar power plant located in
the Centre-Val de Loire region.
Leroy Merlin and Voltalia have signed a
CPPA1 for the production of an additional solar power plant
with a capacity of 30 megawatts specifically built for Leroy
Merlin. This agreement is concluded at a pre-determined price for a
minimum of 15 years (with the possibility of extension) and will
allow Leroy Merlin to source approximately 15% of its electricity
consumption from renewable energy.
The solar power plant is scheduled to be
commissioned in 2025.
This sales contract is part of a global
partnership with ADEO, the leading international player in home
improvement, which brings together ten specialist brands including
Leroy Merlin.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, said: "With
this first CPPA concluded, Voltalia is proud through this project
to carry out a concrete action in favour of the environment and to
contribute to bringing competitive energy to its partner. With the
associated agricultural activity, adding a dimension of local
co-development, Voltalia pursues its mission "to improve the global
environment by promoting local development. "
Jérôme Paternotte, Director of Development for
Leroy Merlin France: "Leroy Merlin obviously has a role to play in
the energy transition. We support residents in this process and of
course take action on our own buildings. We are renovating them to
consume less, just what is necessary. Between 2018 and 2021, we
have already recorded a 13% reduction in the carbon impact of their
energy consumption. Today, with Voltalia, we are shifting up a gear
to consume better thanks to renewable energy. Our trajectory is
clear: stores powered 100% by green energy by 2025, with a share
produced directly on site."
