Everything you need to know about photovoltaics in France

[Adrien (ex-nico239)]

Fortunately, in a few years 100 billions of taxpayers for dismantling will create tens of thousands of jobs ..... unproductive
(unless the cheaper Chinese with their robots do not like the jackpot)

What is certain is that 10 billion Flamenville and the 3billion penalty in Finland and future billion penalty in England have not yet produced 1 W

And as much as to make so much 100 billion more in the great carnage Heu no the great carenage! it's us who pays

I think we need a Fukushima to boost jobs and that it will be necessary to use the storage pools for the Olympics

As Bardal puts it:

I want to say we'll see ... but I will not bet my house on a debacle of the EPR.

Anyway we'll see if it's a fiasco or a success since Taishan started its commercial operation in December.

[Adrien (ex-nico239)]

Go Bardal a little last for the road:
Who will still pay ?? That's a difficult question
Areva case, the monstrous bill that threatens France
The nuclear group could be claimed 24 billion euros by the US justice in a case of corruption in the United States. A file that could embarrass Anne Lauvergeon but also Edouard Philippe, at Areva at the time of the facts.

My faith is also Lafarge and the Islamic state ...

And everywhere in the world you will find companies accused of corruption

Since they are unavoidable the US loves to impose this way to the world

The largest solar farm in Île-de-France will be built in Marcoussis (91)

Winners of the CRE (Energy Regulation Commission) tender, the results of which have just been published, Sigeif and Engie Green will build and operate the largest solar photovoltaic farm in Marcoussis (91). 'Ile-de-France. On a plot proposed by the Mayor of Marcoussis, 1er vice president of the Sigeif, this project will host 76 500 solar panels.

26 GWh of electricity will thus be produced annually (ie the consumption of a city of 11 000 inhabitants) ... and 280 sheep in eco-pastoralism will maintain the some 38,5 ha closed.

The Sigeif's determination and the CRE's decision demonstrate that large-scale solar photovoltaic ground projects are technically and financially feasible in Île-de-France. This project will reduce the great energy dependence of the capital region that "imports" 90% of the electricity it consumes.

The solar farm file of Marcoussis carried by the Sigeif, in partnership with Engie Green was selected among the winners of the tender "4.5" CRE. This call for tenders concerns the construction and operation of power generation facilities using solar energy corresponding to the "Power plants with a power between 500 kWc and 30 MWc", and guarantees purchase price of electricity produced for twenty years, so the financial security of the project.

On some 38,5 ha fenced, 22,8 ha area dedicated to solar will host 76 500 crystalline silicon panels on fixed structures. The power is estimated between 20 and 23 MWc (megawatt peak), for an expected annual output of 26,3 GWh, the equivalent of consuming a city of more than 11 000 inhabitants, avoiding 17 500 tons of CO2.

It will be the largest solar farm in Île-de-France.

The ground, known as "site of the arrachis", bordered by A10 and N104 is currently an industrial wasteland resulting from the creation of the TGV tunnel without major ecological interest. It will become an emblematic site for green electricity production, demonstrating the feasibility of large-scale solar photovoltaic production in Île-de-France.

The project will be carried out in synergy with the agricultural world since the sowing under panels will allow via eco-pastoralism to welcome 100 to 200 sheep of the region.

Its budget is estimated at € 17,5 € and will be borne by the project company constituted by Sigeif and Engie Green. Individuals, through a crowdfunding device, can also participate in this beautiful project.

The site will be launched in September 2019 for an industrial commissioning mid-2020.

A vast park of photovoltaic shadows above a parking lot inaugurated by Neoen near Lyon

AFP published the 09 Apr 2019

The French producer of green energy Neoen inaugurated Tuesday a park of photovoltaic shackles, installed on a large industrial parking Corbas (metropolis of Lyon): it protects up to 4 600 vehicles from the weather while providing electricity for 8 800 people.

Built at the cost of an investment of 19,1 million euros, it is the largest installation of its kind in France. They were installed on a site of the automotive logistics company Groupe Charles André (GCA), which receives the new vehicles delivered by train by the manufacturers there, and prepares them before delivering them to the dealers. "This project really makes a lot of sense: we are part of a land that retains its industrial vocation, while providing an additional service, the production of electricity", said the Deputy General Manager of Neoen Paul-François Croisille. .

Installed above thin aluminum structures, these shades occupy an area of ​​82 000 square meters. They have a peak power of 16,3 megawatts electricity. Vehicles arriving in Corbas, including Fiat and Volkswagen, may have to spend several days in the car parks. It is therefore necessary during this time to protect them from bad weather, especially hail.

It is the fifth photovoltaic plant installed on GCA land, which is remunerated by a rent from the operator, said its director Delphine André. The construction and maintenance of the installation was entrusted to Bouygues Energies and Services, which used solar panels manufactured by Sunpower (a subsidiary of Total).

On the amount of the investment, 1,2 million euros were provided by about fifty individuals, via crowdfunding launched on three platforms. 20% of the total is financed by Neoen's own funds and the balance comes from a bank loan.

Entered on the stock market in autumn, Neoen realizes about a third of its activity in France, another third in Australia and the last third in Latin America.

Start of construction of the largest solar park in the Hauts-de-France

Dhamma Energy has announced the laying of the foundation stone of 87,5 MWc's Athies-Samoussy photovoltaic plant on the runways of the former NATO airfield in Laon-Athies, in the Aisne department.

This event, which took place last week, marks the beginning of the construction of the largest solar park in the Hauts-de-France that took place this September. The work will last one year.

"We can be proud to see the birth of a project of this magnitude that will contribute to the fight against global warming," said the co-founder of Dhamma Energy, Mr. Philippe Esposito.

The investment of the Athies-Samoussy plant amounts to approximately 70 million euros.
Among the investors are public organizations and private initiative. The project is funded by SEM Somme Energie, which emerged from the emergence of FDE 80 and the SICAE of the Somme and Cambraisis, SEM Energies Hauts-de-France, created at the initiative of the Regional Council of Hauts-de-France, and also the private house Mélan Moutet.

Local solar crowdfunding record

The Athies-Samoussy power station also benefits from crowdfunding crowdfunding. The project raised 1,1 million euros through the Lendosphere platform in 25 days during the month of July. This is a record amount for a local crowdfunding of solar energy in France.

The Athies-Samoussy plant obtained long-term purchase rates in CRE tenders last year.

The park spreads over 100 hectares of aerodrome Laon-Athies and will be used for the conversion of a site abandoned and without use. The electricity generated by the park amounts to 93 GWh per year, which is equivalent to the domestic consumption of 40.000 households.

Bravo Akuo!

The first floating solar power plant in France inaugurated in Vaucluse

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE BARLA Usine Nouvelle 18/10/2019

MADE IN FRANCE The project which had seduced the mayor of Piolenc (Vaucluse) in order to enhance a municipal body of water was inaugurated on October 18. Akuo Energy wants to make this floating solar power plant, the largest in Europe, a source of inspiration for other sites.


"O'Mega 1" has a power of 17 MWp, with more than 47 panels on an artificial lake. Akuo Energy picture

"We expect a lot from this floating photovoltaic plant on the water level of a former material extraction quarry for the construction of the TGV Méditerranée. We want to show that this intelligent and advantageous use of a space in the heart of a This territory may pave the way for a massive expansion of photovoltaic fields in similar places in France, ”explains Eric Scotto, president of Akuo Energy.

His group is inaugurating this October 18, “O'Mega 1”, a floating PV plant with a power of 17 MWp, made up of more than 47 panels on an artificial lake in the town of Piolenc (Vaucluse), a few kilometers from Orange. The overall investment is around 000 million euros, part of which is contributed by the town hall (17%) and the local population (6%) and crowdfunding through the Akuo Coop cooperative platform. The site, which employed 17 people on average, was carried out with Bouygues Energies & Services.

Reproducible model

"This is not a prototype, but the first in series", insists Eric Scotto, convinced of the development potential of the modular floating structure technology, "Hydrelio", imagined by the company Ciel et Terre, whose manufacturing license and distribution for France is now in the fold of Akuo Energy. “We have developed the float together to make it more competitive,” he continues.

On the lake, the modules are based on 52 floats assembled on land which are towed on the water then placed on anchors, wired and connected to the electricity network. According to the company, "Hydrelio" can be adapted to rainwater reservoirs, retention or emptying basins, hydroelectric dams ... In the eyes of Eric Scotto, "the recovery of unused surfaces makes it possible to consider an energy transition without conflict of use, thus facilitating the acceptability of projects by the population. The mayor, from the start, identified this asset and believed in the potential of this sector, going so far as to implement educational actions with children and inhabitants so that they also appropriate the initiative ".

In addition to making his commune of 5 inhabitants a positive energy territory, Louis Driey, mayor of Piolenc, wanted to associate the project with an "agro-energy approach". A farm, operated by local farmers, is located on the site to supply the school canteens of several municipalities with organic products. Its operation will be financed by a part of the revenues generated by the PV power plant.

CNR inaugurates a photovoltaic park in Caderousse

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE BARLA Usine Nouvelle 10/10/2019

Located in Caderousse (Vaucluse) on 25 hectares, the photovoltaic park of the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône (CNR) has 14 MWp of power. CNR invested 13 million euros in its creation with Caisse des Dépôts.


The Caderousse photovoltaic park will produce 26,7 GWh per year with 32 photovoltaic panels installed.

"We announced that we would be at 4 MW of installed capacity in 000 in renewable energies. We are reaching 2020 MW today, with this new 3 MWp Caderousse (Vaucluse) park.

A project carried out in less than four years since the first studies ", indicates Cécile Magherini, director of the new energies department of the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône (CNR). The inauguration was held on October 9 in Caderousse.

The site should produce 26,7 GWh each year, the equivalent, according to the CNR, of the consumption of a city of 10 inhabitants in this predominantly rural territory around Orange (Vaucluse). It consists of 700 photovoltaic panels supplied by SunPower (a thousand were manufactured in France, in the Toulouse region, the rest in Mexico) and mounted on trackers. The investment of 32 million euros was carried by CNR and Caisse des Dépôts.

The park enables the development of previously unexploited land on the banks of the Rhone, a few hundred meters from the Caderousse hydroelectric plant. The work was carried out using mainly local companies to maximize the economic benefits for the basin and Ineo will take charge of its maintenance. Extended by Territorial Meetings with elected officials from Vaucluse, the event was concluded by Elisabeth Ayrault, CEO of the CNR, who assured the audience that its objective was to target the 8 MW installed as part of the extension of the Rhône development and operating concession until 000.

Larzac: a "new scenario" for the contested large photovoltaic power plant project

AFP published on Oct 23, 2019

The company Arkolia Energies announced Wednesday in Montpellier the abandonment of its controversial initial plans for a large photovoltaic power plant in the south of Larzac (Hérault), ensuring that a "new scenario" of smaller size would be presented within a year.

With its Solarzac project, Arkolia Energies initially planned to cover 220 to 400 hectares of panels, possibly accompanied by anaerobic digestion.

The planned project in the small town of Cros (Hérault), located in an area classified as Natura 2000 and UNESCO World Heritage as part of the cultural landscapes of Mediterranean agro-pastoralism, was overwhelmingly rejected locally and by organizations for the defense of the environment and agricultural land. "We heard the expectations, the fears of people ... The idea is to give time to time" to achieve "an exemplary project, accepted by all", assured Laurent during a press conference Bonhomme, Chairman of Arkolia Énergies.

Referring to "new studies, he referred to" a smaller power plant "to" limit the impact on the environment "on the town. The size of the future project must however be" sufficient "to ensure the financing of the land buyback - currently belonging to a private hunt - by the communities, underlined Mr. Bonhomme. And the new scenario will have to emphasize "the agricultural dimension", the idea being to grow grass under the panels and to make graze sheep.

Bruno Védrine, the guarantor of the preliminary consultation carried out, sometimes in a stormy atmosphere, from May to July last concluded in his report that the client had to "answer legal questions, as well as questions on the dimension of the project and its development, compliance with environmental impact procedures ... ". He also advised "complementary studies: technical, financial and environmental".

For opponents, a handful of whom demonstrated Wednesday in Montpellier during the press conference, this project has the value of a national test on the question of the multiplication of industrial and financial energy projects in protected natural areas and in classified landscapes.
