Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, a specialist in electrical and industrial engineering, has formed a strategic partnership with Sunrock, a European developer and operator of solar parks, to install four photovoltaic plants on logistics buildings in France. These installations, with a total capacity of 12.5 MWc, will be located in four regions: Burgundy, Île-de-France, Centre-Val de Loire, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The projects aim to produce renewable energy while meeting local energy needs and contributing to the injection of electricity into the national grid.
This partnership is based on the goal of developing large-scale photovoltaic projects in the logistics sector. The photovoltaic plants will install panels on 60,000 m² of logistics building roofs, covering a total area of 130,000 m². This initiative aligns with the strategies of both companies to strengthen the production of decarbonized energy and support the energy transition.
A partnership for energy transition
Maarten de Haas, CEO of Sunrock France, clarified that this collaboration with Eiffage Énergie Systèmes represents a key step for the company in its development in France. He added that the partnership strengthens the ability to deliver large-scale photovoltaic projects, a sector that is experiencing significant growth in Europe. Both companies rely on their respective expertise to accelerate the energy transition of logistics infrastructures and ensure a sustainable energy supply.
Eiffage Énergie Systèmes will handle the design, construction, and maintenance of the photovoltaic installations for a period of two years. Bertrand Genardini, Director of Solar Development at Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, emphasized that this project marks the beginning of a strategic partnership to support the decarbonization of logistics companies in France. The production of solar energy will directly contribute to local consumption, thus reducing carbon emissions in these areas.
A model of sustainable and localized energy production
The four signed photovoltaic projects will produce decarbonized electricity, injected into the grid while meeting local consumption. These installations are part of a broader strategy to support the decarbonization of logistics infrastructures in France, while optimizing the use of available space for renewable energy production. The integration of renewable energies in the logistics sector is in line with environmental goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The sites chosen for these projects are considered strategic to maximize the impact of solar production. The implementation of these photovoltaic plants on logistics buildings is based on an economic model of profitability and sustainability, while ensuring local management of the energy produced.
