Voltalia will inaugurate in the first half of 2024 a wind farm called Rives Charentaises in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.

A scheduled inauguration

Voltalia with this wind farm will cover the electricity consumption of more than 32,800 inhabitants. It thus contributes to energy autonomy, in addition to the fight against global warming. It is located between the communes of the Vienne and the Charente in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

The Rives Charentaises wind farm will consist of 17 wind turbines with a unit power of 2.2MW. In total, the project will have a total installed capacity of 37.4MW. Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, says:

“The stakes of geostrategic energy independence have never been higher and the continued acceleration of renewable energy deployment is necessary. Voltalia is proud to support this development through this new wind power project. After several wind farm construction projects in the Grand-Est region (Sud Vannier, Sarry and Molinons) in recent months, Voltalia is once again demonstrating its ability to carry out ambitious projects that concretely address the multiple challenges we face: providing local green energy solutions and controlling our CO2 emissions.”

A global ambition

Voltalia produces and sells electricity generated from wind, solar, hydraulic, biomass and storage facilities. The company operates in the market as an owner or manager. The group has more than 2.4GW of generating capacity in operation and under construction.

The company has a portfolio of projects under development representing a total capacity of 13.6GW. The group has more than 1450 employees. In addition, Voltalia is present in 20 countries on 3 continents.
