Q ENERGY announces the construction of Europe's largest floating
solar farm
Q ENERGY, a major player in the
renewable energies sector, announces the start of construction of
Europe's largest floating solar farm on the site of a former quarry
in the Haute-Marne region of France.
A large-scale project
Initiated in 2019 by the French Q ENERGY team,
the project was awarded the PPE2-2 tender in August 2022.
Construction is planned to start in September 2023, and works will
be scheduled to last 18 months, with a provisional commissioning
date in early 2025.
With an installed capacity of 74.3 MWp, the
future floating power plant is Europe's largest to date and will be
made up of several islands spread over a 127-hectare site of former
gravel pits owned by Etablissements Blandin, whose operation ended
in 2020. It will supply the equivalent of 37,000 inhabitants with
electricity and avoid releasing around 18,000 tonnes of CO2 into
the atmosphere every year. 134,649 solar panels will be installed
on the 6 blocks that make up the site.
For this large-scale project, Q ENERGY has
partnered with a group of companies made up of Solutions 30
Sud-Ouest (ex-Sotranasa), Ciel &Terre International and
Perpetum Energy, a group which will also be responsible for the
plant's maintenance.
Floating structures manufactured in
France:
The design of the floating solar structures
takes into account the needs of the surrounding aquatic ecosystem.
The materials used are sustainable and designed to minimize
environmental impact while maximizing energy efficiency. The
floating structures that will equip the site are manufactured by
Ciel & Terre in France, enabling the development of a promising
national industry.
"This milestone marks the culmination of 4 years
of development, proof of our determination to support the
transition to cleaner energy sources. It perfectly illustrates our
purpose to empower a sustainable world with green energy. This
floating power plant is the first in a long series, as our teams
are currently developing a broad portfolio of nearly 300 MW of
projects of this type", states Arnaud GOUPIL, Regional
Solar Director at Q ENERGY. “The design and
study phase of this project created a solid team that collaborated
efficiently and with great agility. With this spirit of partnership
at the heart of Solutions 30's DNA, and established photovoltaic
expertise, we are convinced that the Group will play a leading role
in tackling the energy transition challenges of the years ahead.
Over and above our pride in actively contributing to the creation
of a benchmark facility on a European scale, we would like to thank
Q ENERGY, as well as our partners Ciel & Terre and Perpetum
Energy, for the confidence they have placed in us as the project
leader, coordinating its roll-out and carrying out the electrical
installation", says Amaury BOILOT, Managing Director of
Solutions 30 in France.
