The plant, with a capacity of 7 MWc, will be located on a 6.6-hectare site and will feature approximately 11,500 solar panels. According to forecasts, it will cover the annual electricity consumption of 1,550 households, while avoiding the emission of 113 tonnes of CO2 per year. This project also represents an economic benefit for the commune, which is expected to receive an annual income of around €10,000.

strategic development and local partnerships
Since 2023, Altarea Energies Renouvelables has been developing a diversified approach to renewable energy. The company focuses on several types of projects: photovoltaic rooftops, parking canopies, ground-mounted plants, agrivoltaics, and agricultural barns. This new ground-mounted plant fits perfectly within this diversification strategy.

Construction work began in March 2025, with the plant expected to be operational by the end of the year. The plant will be managed in an eco-responsible manner through the use of eco-grazing, aimed at preserving local biodiversity while ensuring the effective maintenance of the site.

altarea energies renouvelables, a reference player in the energy transition
Altarea Energies Renouvelables is gradually establishing itself as a key player in the renewable energy sector in France. With over 500 photovoltaic plants in operation and 800 MWc of secured projects, the company is positioning itself to become a leader in the energy transition. In 2024, the group strengthened its capabilities by acquiring Préjeance Industrial, a company specializing in photovoltaic projects for small and medium-sized rooftops, mainly on agricultural barns.

The company is determined to continue its development in France, focusing on projects tailored to local territorial needs and fostering sustainable partnerships with local authorities, farmers, and businesses.
