TSE Reveals '2nd Largest Solar Plant in France' with 152 MW Capacity

• TSE, an independent French gamer specializing in solar energy, has actually inaugurated its new 152 MW solar plant, situated in Marville, France, in the Meuse, as well as established in partnership with Enerparc AG.

This official inauguration notes the culmination of a large-scale project accomplished on 155 hectares of land. While building started in June 2020, the Marville power station currently has around 364,000 solar modules, several of which have innovative bifacial modern technology. Thanks to an overall installed power of 152MWp (megawatt-peak), it produces a manufacturing of around 160 GWh/ year, which is the matching of 90% of the annual consumption of the City of Verdun, said the firm.

Its advancement was carried out in partnership with the company Enerparc AG, which constructs and possesses the eastern fifty percent. For TSE, the western fifty percent of the plant was commissioned in May 2021. The eastern fifty percent was appointed in early September 2021.

Installed on a former NATO military base used by the Canadian Air Forces from 1955 to 1967 and also bought in 2006 by the Communauté de Communes du Pays de Montmédy, the style of the solar power plant is based upon many research studies, which have actually made it feasible to examine environmental concerns, said TSE.

Over a period of thirty years, TSE has actually intended to perform an enthusiastic program for the conservation as well as redeployment of biodiversity with 3 types of actions: the deartificialisation of soils, the repair of a mosaic of meadows, as well as the limitation of invasive plant types. "All of these actions, which are voluntary procedures not arising from any kind of obligation, were specified in collaboration with CDC Biodiversité, a subsidiary of Caisse des Dépôts," said the company.

For Pierre-Yves Lambert, Managing Director of TSE, "The Marville power station will certainly enable really high electrical energy manufacturing when there is the slightest sunshine. The rate of interest is of course economic but most importantly replies to our aspirations on the energy change. And we are in the middle of it with entirely renewable manufacturing. This is an effective conversion that takes into consideration existing tasks such as the aerodrome, biodiversity and also farming activity."

The photovoltaic or pv power plant project on the Marville base was made possible thanks to the involvement of the Community of Communes of the Pays de Montmedy, which desired to engage in the energy transition, by giving a second life to this military wasteland, believes TSE.

This project remains in line with the orientations of the Regional Climate Air Energy Scheme (SRCAE) of Lorraine, as well as the purposes of the Pluriannual Energy Programs, taken on at the end of April, which intends to develop renewable resources and also lower carbon exhausts.
