The iliad Group has announced the signing of four new Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), adding 60 MW of installed capacity across France, Poland and Italy. These contracts secure an annual volume of 81.8 GWh of electricity from renewable sources. Delivery is scheduled to begin on 1 January 2026, with terms ranging from 10 to 15 years depending on the project.

Two new sites in France with 41.8 GWh per year

In France, iliad signed two separate PPAs. The first covers a wind farm located in Rochefort-sur-la-Côte, Haute-Marne, operated by energy producer H2air. With a capacity of 8.8 MW, it will supply around 3,520 French households with approximately 19 GWh per year for 15 years. The second agreement was signed with Arkolia for a solar farm in Gironde, with 18.1 MW installed capacity and an estimated annual production of 22.8 GWh.

These two projects bring the number of PPAs signed by iliad in France since 2023 to four, covering 16% of the group’s domestic energy consumption by 2027.

Portfolio expansion in Poland and Italy

In Poland, Play, a subsidiary of the iliad Group, signed a 12-year agreement with producer R.Power for a solar farm in Kaczory, Greater Poland region. The 18 MW site will supply 20 GWh of electricity annually, raising iliad’s total renewable electricity production in Poland to 54.7 GWh per year.

In Italy, iliad Italia entered a 10-year agreement with METLEN Energy & Metals. This contract secures renewable electricity from a 15.2 MW solar farm in Gionco, Latium region. The facility will produce 20 GWh per year, covering 21% of iliad’s electricity consumption in Italy by 2026.

Targeting 50% renewable coverage by 2035

With these new agreements, the iliad Group doubles its number of PPAs across Europe, now totalling eight projects in its three core markets. Combined, these initiatives represent an annual production capacity of 219 GWh, equivalent to the electricity consumption of a mid-sized city such as Roubaix, Bari or Słupsk.

According to internal data, 15% of iliad’s direct electricity consumption will be covered by PPAs as of 2027. The group aims to reach 50% PPA coverage in Poland and Italy by 2035. All projects are certified under the EKOenergy label, ensuring compliance with sustainable energy standards.
