VSB énergies nouvelles, announces the launch of the construction of a new photovoltaic plant in Aveyron called Soleil de Balsac.

Reconversion of a site

VSB énergies nouvelles is building the Soleil de Balsac power plant, located in the commune of Druelle Balsac. It is a photovoltaic power plant on the ground, installed on a former gravel and sand pit. Indeed, the owner of this farm wanted to enhance the value of the site by encouraging an environmentally friendly business.

This photovoltaic plant of 16,740 panels will have a total power of 9.2MWp. Thus, VSB Energies Nouvelles will be able to produce 10542.015 MWh/year, which is the annual electricity consumption of 4949 people. The commissioning of the Soleil de Balsac project will avoid the emission of 2657 tons of carbon dioxide per year.

An evolving project

In 2017, the original plan was to build a 4989.6kWp plant. During the development of the project, VSB énergies nouvelles doubled the power and annual production without changing the footprint. Indeed, the technical evolutions allow the company to optimize the surface.

VSB énergies nouvelles is committed to carrying out this project in an environmentally friendly manner. The work will start soon and will be completed at the end of March to respect the nesting periods. The company also respects the aeronautical easement because of its location less than 3 kilometers from the Rodez-Marcillac airfield.

Development of industrial wasteland

VSB énergies nouvelles is betting on photovoltaics and wants to increase the share of solar energy in the energy mix. Thus, the company will be attentive to the new law on the acceleration of renewable energy. Maël Lagarde, CEO and Managing Director of VSB énergies nouvelles, says:

“Today, solar represents about 3% of the French energy mix. While we need electricity more than ever, we must not hesitate to accelerate and develop these deposits for the benefit of all.”

VSB énergies nouvelles wants to build photovoltaic power plants on abandoned sites. These projects allow the valorization of a site unfit for agriculture or industrialization. In addition, the company also targets industrial roofs and parking lots.
