PRESS RELEASE
February 13, 2018
Voltalia awarded during the CRE IV national tender in France
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies, wins a new 5 MW solar project and a 3 MW innovative agri-voltaic project in Metropolitan France.
"I congratulate our teams for this new win within CRE IV: beyond confirming the competitiveness of Voltalia's developed projects, this success highlights our teams' ability to offer innovative solutions suited to each territory's resources" rejoices Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
Once more, Voltalia has been selected under the "CRE IV" national call for tenders, the results of which have been announced on February 9, 2018 by the French Ministry for Ecological and Social Transition.
The winning project of Talagard (5 MW) is located in Salon de Provence, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region. It will consist in a ground-mounted PV installation and benefit from a 20 year contract for difference1 . As for the previous calls for tenders, Voltalia paid great care to the selection of the site and gave priority to land upgrading. The Talagard solar plant will thus be built on the site of a former municipal landfill. In addition, the land clearing allowance will be allocated to the maintenance work of the local forest.
In accordance with the terms of the call for tenders, the Talagard
power plant should be commissioned in Q1 2020 at the latest. It will produce enough renewable electricity to power the equivalent of almost 3,000 French households2 .
In addition, Voltalia has been selected for a 3 MW agri-voltaic project as part of the first tender for innovative solar technologies. Combining agricultural production and electricity generation, the Saint Etienne du Grès project (PACA region) will thus foster dual land use while optimizing agricultural production. The commissioning date will depend on the permitting process.
1 Implemented by the 2016 French energy Act (" loi relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte "), the contract for difference system ("complément de rémuneration") consists in a premium price granted to the electricity producer to compensate the difference between the market price and the tariff fixed in the tariff order or stated in the terms of the call for tender
