Neoen Wins 81.6 MWp in Solar Projects in France

• Neoen, among the world's leading as well as fastest-growing producers of solely renewable resource is announcing that it has actually been granted 81.6 MWp in the call for tenders for ground-mounted solar ranches held by the French federal government (CRE Innovation and also CRE 4.9).

The 73.6 MWp won in CRE 4.9 is split in between five projects, from 3 to 39 MWp, all complying with Neoen's develop-to-own version.

Totalling 39 MWp, Loirecopark, the ground-mounted solar park in the Sarthe département situated ashore belonging to a consortium of local authorities will be among Neoen's biggest in France.

2 other projects won the CRE Innovation tender in December, for an overall of 8 MWp. A cutting-edge predictive upkeep system will be made use of for both ground-mounted plants, with automated detection and also analysis of faults of the solar panels. The first (5 MWp), in Portets, southwest France will be found on the website of a former quarry while the various other (3 MWp) at Saint-Priest-la-Prugne, Loire, will certainly fix up the website of a former uranium mine.

Neoen has won 364.6 MWp of solar power in the last nine CRE tenders, which stands for a complete investment of over 300 million euros. Nearly two-thirds of the capability awarded will be produced on degraded land or car-park sanctuaries; 183 MWp is already in operation or incomplete.

The 364.6 MWp won in the various stages of CRE 4 and the 8 MWp awarded in the CRE Innovation contribute to the 66 MWp from the 2018 CRE Bi-technologique, in which Neoen won the lion's share. In four years, Neoen has won some 438.6 MWp in French federal government tenders.
