Voltalia (Euronext Paris, code ISIN: FR0011995588), an international player
in renewable energies, announces today the completion of the construction of
the Talagard solar power plant (5 MW), built in Salon-de-Provence.
« Located less than 50 kilometers from our Aix-en-Provence branch, the
Talagard power plant reflects our strong historical roots in the South
Region. This region hosts many Voltalia projects, historically monetized
through public tenders, but also more and more through corporate PPAs[1]. »
declares Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
The plant benefits from a 20-year contract under the contract for difference
scheme[2]. Equipped with 12,796 photovoltaic panels, it will produce
electricity from renewable sources equivalent to the electricity consumption
of nearly 6,500 people.
During its construction, the plant benefited from all Voltalia's know-how in
terms of team safety, environmental protection and consultation with local
stakeholders. The choice of the site - a former communal landfill of 6.5
hectares - reflects the desire to rehabilitate degraded sites. In addition,
the land clearing compensation has been used to carry out maintenance work
on the communal forest.
On November 8, a presentation of the Talagard project was made to the
representatives of the region and the municipality. On this occasion, the
mayor of Salon-de-Provence particularly emphasized the importance of
contributing to the energy transition and the production of green energy. He
also praised Voltalia's commitment to protect the environment (flora and
fauna), during construction and during the entire period of operation of the
plant.
