Regulatory News:
The cooperative des poulets de Janzé and Groupe OKwind
(FR0013439627 - ALOKW), which is specialized in the design,
manufacture and sale of smart energy generation systems dedicated
to self-consumption, announce the signing of a commercial
agreement with the members of the cooperative des poulets de
Janzé.
63 producers have requested OKwind solutions aim at achieving at
least 35% energy self-sufficiency and thus reduce their electricity
bills in a time of very high energy cost inflation. An agreement
that allows, over a period of 6 months, the installation of 1.4
megawatt-peak, that is to say an average global production capacity
of 2.6 GigaWh.
The cooperative des poulets de Janzé has offered to its members
a joint purchase of OKwind solutions to meet their energy
requirements while improving their carbon footprint. Nearly 40% of
the 170 members responded favorably to the proposal and will be
equipped with intelligent solar trackers by November 2022. A joint
operation that will allow 63 farmers to increase their energy
self-sufficiency and reduce their electricity bill.
This joint commercial agreement allows each farmer to cope with
soaring energy prices and at the same time to participate in the
ecological transition. These energy solutions are installed on
farmers' properties throughout the cooperative's territory and can
be used to produce green energy in a diffuse environment without
mobilizing land. This is a direct benefit for the entire
Ille-et-Vilaine region, wherein green energy production has
increased thanks to this agreement. Moreover, this deployment is
being carried without public subsidies and directly reduces the
operating costs of farmers. OKwind's solutions can absorb energy
price fluctuations over time with an investment that is amortized
over a few years.
Groupe OKwind, a strong partner of the agricultural
community
As the French leader in self-consumption in the professional
sector, Groupe OKwind has a strong and long-standing establishment
in the agricultural sector with a strong commitment to creating
richness in rural areas.
Self-consumption allows the production and consumption of green
energy in the same place. Thanks to its technology of solar
trackers, dual-axis and dual-sided, which follow the sun like
sunflowers, OKwind enables to reach up to 70% of energy
self-sufficiency.
These energy generators coupled with an energy management system
allow to produce a stable and linear energy adapted to each
production system. Easily installed on farms, thanks to a very
small footprint, they allow the free use of agricultural surfaces
in polyculture. Solar trackers appear as the most suitable solar
energy production technology for agriculture and breeding. Numerous
advantages which seduce each year a growing number of farmers.
The cooperative des Fermiers de Janzé, producers united for
its territory
The cooperative des Fermiers de Janzé is first and foremost a
territory, located in family farms, which produces quality farm
poultry with know-how derived from a virtuous model. Strengthened
by its history, the cooperative intends to continue to build on its
raison d'être of raising free-range poultry while remaining
committed to its territory.
Since its creation in 2003, the cooperative, supported by its
170 breeders, has always been committed to using breeding methods
that respect both the environment and the well-being of the
producers and their poultry. Commitments carried by the collective
where social responsibility remains paramount. Label Rouge poultry,
therefore, raised in the open air with respect and with strict
specifications but not only...
The joint operation with OKwind, working in the same territory,
illustrates this. It will enable producers, who will soon be
involved in self-consumption, to increase their energy
self-sufficiency and reduce their electricity bill. Therefore, in
addition to making savings and continuing their actions in favor of
the environment, the breeders participate concretely in the
ecological transition of our region.
For Louis Maurice, CEO of Groupe OKwind: “This commercial
agreement is a first. It demonstrates how a cooperative can also
support its members on the energy aspect. By opting for
self-consumption, farmers are doing more than saving money, they
are committing themselves to their territory. They participate in a
concrete and visible way to energy independence. That's what we are
fighting for at OKwind: to develop real solutions to create
richness in rural areas.
For Patrick Giboire, President of the cooperative des
Fermiers de Janzé: “We are all aware that we must constantly
improve our breeding practices to keep working for our environment.
This project is a concrete example of the cohesion and strong
support of our producers who will install a tracker OKwind on their
farms by the end of the year. We are proud, as breeders advocating
for local, to be associated with an innovative company on our
territory and which will allow us to produce green energy produced
at home!”
About the cooperative des Fermiers de Janzé
While the poultry of Janzé has been making the inventory of
products in Brittany since the 19th century, it is in 1980 that the
association of des poulets de Janzé was created with as watchwords,
hygiene and quality. The breeders then voted for statutory
independence and formed a cooperative in 2003 to defend their
interests. The association remains the owner of the Label Rouge
specifications, proof of superior quality and the Protected
Geographical Indication of Janzé, and continues to coordinate
actions within the sector. Today, the cooperative des Fermiers de
Janzé is composed by 170 producers of farm poultry (chickens,
guinea fowl, but also turkeys or capons during festive periods)
united on the territory of Ille-et-Vilaine and neighbouring
cantons. A cooperative on a human scale, in which the values of
solidarity and quality also have the ambition to contribute to the
sustainable development of the territory. Agroforestry, biogas or
self-consumption of its electricity produced on its farm are also
actions in favor of the environment, which allows to continue to
write the history of des Fermiers de Janzé on its territory.
