Corsica Sole, independent solar power producer and Europe’s leading energy storage company, has partnered with the CCPVM to develop a solar power plant on the site of a former waste disposal and crushing facility in Dommartin-lès-Remiremont. The 5 MWp power plant comprises almost 12,000 photovoltaic modules supplied by French manufacturer Photowatt. OMEXOM, a subsidiary of the VINCI Group, won the Innovation tender issued by the French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE). The plant’s annual output will be equivalent to the electricity consumption of over 1,200 homes. Corsica Sole will lease the land to the CCPVM for 30 years.

A public-private partnership for the energy transition

This project is in line with Corsica Sole‘s development strategy, which now boasts over 110 MWp of photovoltaic power plants and over 160 MWh of power plants with energy storage in operation. The company is currently developing a project portfolio of over 1.5 GW and is diversifying into renewable hydrogen production. For the CCPVM, this solar power plant represents an opportunity to redevelop a brownfield site and strengthen the region’s energy autonomy. Ultimately, this project could help stabilize electricity costs for the community’s residents.

Local roots and raising awareness of solar energy professions

As part of the inauguration, Corsica Sole and the CCPVM organized educational visits for students at Remiremont’s Lycée André Malraux, as well as for residents of the local community. These initiatives are designed to raise awareness of solar energy among the younger generation and strengthen the links between the project and the local area. The Dommartin-lès-Remiremont solar power plant illustrates the potential of public-private partnerships to develop renewable energy projects on disused industrial sites.
