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.

EDPR plans to invest heavily in renewable energy

EDP Renewables (EDPR), the parent company of Kronos Solar EDPR, is the world’s fourth largest producer of renewable energy, operating in 28 international markets across Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia. Headquartered in Madrid and with offices in Houston, São Paulo, Singapore and Paris, EDPR has a diverse project portfolio, robust assets and recognized operational excellence in the renewable sector.

EDPR is a subsidiary of EDP, a leader in energy transition, with a special focus on decarbonization. In addition to its strong presence in renewable energy (with EDPR and its hydroelectric operations), EDP works alongside utilities in Portugal, Spain and Brazil, particularly in electricity networks, customer solutions and energy management.

Thus, the construction of the first photovoltaic park in France by EDPR in partnership with Kronos Solar marks an important step in the company’s strategy to produce photovoltaic electricity in France. With its new business plan, the company plans to invest heavily in renewable energy to accelerate the global energy transition. EDPR, a subsidiary of EDP, a leader in energy transition, is present in 28 international markets and has a diverse portfolio of projects and robust assets, confirming its commitment to clean and renewable energy production.
