SNCF Energie signs a new wind energy supply
contract with Voltalia
SNCF
Energie, a subsidiary of SNCF Voyageurs,
and Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an
international player in renewable energy,
announced the signing of a new long-term electricity sales
contract for the entire output of a 37.4-megawatt wind
farm.
SNCF Voyageurs and Voltalia have entered into a
new Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA)1. SNCF Voyageurs,
through its internal electricity provider SNCF Energie, will
acquire the entire production from a 37.4-megawatt wind farm
located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. This wind farm,
named Rives Charentaises2, consists of 17 wind turbines with an
individual capacity of 2.2 megawatts, resulting in a total
installed capacity of 37.4 megawatts. The annual production is
estimated to be around 78 gigawatt-hours, accounting for 1.4% of
SNCF Voyageurs' traction electricity consumption. The commissioning
of the wind farm is scheduled for the first half of 2024.
This new commitment aligns perfectly with SNCF
Voyageurs intention to actively participate in the energy
transition. In this context, SNCF Voyageurs confirms its ambition
to achieve 40 to 50% renewable energy sources - including 20% from
Corporate PPAs - in its electricity consumption mix for train
traction by 2026.
To achieve this goal, its subsidiary SNCF
Energie has been leading the "Corporate PPA" program for SNCF
Voyageurs since 2018. With these new contracts, by 2027, more than
560 gigawatt-hours per year will come from additional photovoltaic
and wind power plants. SNCF Voyageurs aims to have 1,100
gigawatt-hours of renewable electricity from CPPAs by 2027-2028,
representing 20% of its electrical needs for train traction.
This is not the first collaboration between SNCF
Energie and Voltalia. In June 2019, the two companies signed their
first large-scale renewable electricity3 direct purchase agreement,
covering a capacity of 143 megawatts for a duration of 25 years.
Voltalia committed to developing, constructing, and operating three
solar power plants located in Gard and Var, France. It was the
first agreement of this scale signed between a renewable energy
producer and an independent major consumer in France.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, states: "The
signing of this new CPPA reflects the determination of SNCF
Voyageurs and Voltalia to pursue an ambitious and proactive common
policy regarding the consumption and production of responsible
energy. Voltalia is thus assisting its partners in meeting their
decarbonisation and low-carbon impact commitments. SNCF Voyageurs
and Voltalia share common values by placing Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) at the heart of their strategies and publicly
affirming their Purpose: 'Acting for a moving, united, and
sustainable society' for SNCF, and 'Improving global environment,
fostering local development' for Voltalia."
Richard Fécamp, CEO of SNCF Energie, states:
"This wind CPPA brings real diversification to SNCF Voyageurs'
renewable electricity sourcing program. Its negotiation relied on
the shared experience of the SNCF Energie and Voltalia teams
developed during previous contracts. The decarbonisation is
significant, with a carbon content of 14 grams of CO2eq per
kilowatt-hour, and the wind production profile complements the
profile of the photovoltaic power plants. We are all very proud of
this achievement in a challenging economic context for renewable
energy production."
