EDPR, a leading solar farm developer, announces the construction of its first photovoltaic park in France in partnership with Kronos Solar.
The solar park of Neuilly-sur-Suize will be equipped with 8,500 solar panels and will supply 2,400 homes
This initiative marks an important step in the company’s strategy to produce photovoltaic electricity in France. Located in Neuilly-sur-Suize, in the Haute-Marne region, the solar park will have an installed capacity of 5 MWp and will be equipped with more than 8,500 double-sided photovoltaic solar panels. This will allow it to capture solar radiation from both sides and maximize production. This park will allow the supply of energy to approximately 2,400 homes per year and will avoid the emission of more than 150 tons of CO2 each year in Haute-Marne.
EDPR plans to begin construction of new solar farms in France in the coming months, demonstrating its commitment to accelerating the energy transition in the country and globally. In its new business plan, the company plans to invest 20 billion euros by 2026 to increase renewable energy installations, 40% of which will be allocated to onshore wind power installations in Europe. The company is moving towards a technology mix in which solar represents half: 40% for large-scale photovoltaics and 10% for decentralized solar production.
