Voltalia strengthens its solar offering for
farmers
Voltalia (Euronext
Paris, code ISIN: FR0011995588), an international player in
renewable energies, announces that its subsidiary Helexia has
acquired 28 megawatts of agricultural photovoltaic hangars in
France. Terravene, a Voltalia subsidiary dedicated to agricultural
land portage, now contributes to the range of services offered to
farmers
Helexia has acquired 202 solar roofs on
farm buildings. They are all in operation and benefit from 20-year
electricity sales contracts.
Together, Voltalia and its subsidiaries Helexia
and Terravene are deploying complementary services for farmers:
Agrivoltaics and
eco-grazing
-
In March 2021, Voltalia commissioned its first agrivoltaic project,
Cabanon1, which combines market garden production and
photovoltaic electricity generation on the same plot of land, with
dynamic shades that protect the crop from extreme weather
conditions (excess sun, hail).
-
Since 2023, Terravene, a dedicated subsidiary of Voltalia, has
developed a land portage offer to support the installation of young
farmers. This solution, financed by the installation of an
agrivoltaic park on part of the land, is a response to the
challenges of ensuring the long-term future of local farms and the
renewal of generations.
-
After deploying projects combining solar production and sheep
eco-grazing, Voltalia has developed agrivoltaic solutions for sheep
and cattle farming. In September 2024, Voltalia commissioned the
Poisy2 demonstrator, designed to measure and analyze the
precise effects of photovoltaic installations on cattle farming,
particularly in terms of animal welfare, daily animal behavior and
the quality and quantity of forage production.
Solar roofs on farm
buildings
- Since March 2022, Helexia has been
offering agricultural hangars solutions with photovoltaic rooftops.
These hangars mainly house agricultural machinery, livestock or
crops.
- Voltalia offers individual
self-consumption solar roofs that farmers are interested in for
their homes.
Voltalia, Helexia and Terravene are now
cooperating on a joint offering: 1,2,3
Soleil3. The solar and agricultural
expertise of these three players is complementary. They enable us
to offer solutions tailored to the needs of farmers. The 1,2,3
Soleil offer provides concrete answers to the issues of
sustaining and developing farms and the challenges of generational
renewal, while enabling the production of renewable
electricity.
Voltalia's and Helexia's photovoltaic projects
developed in conjunction with agricultural activities, in
particular agrivoltaics and agricultural photovoltaic hangars,
total a capacity of over 190 megawatts, and are expanding rapidly:
x2.5 since the beginning of 2023. This French portfolio will
continue to grow, with sites currently under development
representing a potential capacity of over one gigawatt.
“The acquisition of these new agricultural
photovoltaic hangars once again demonstrates our commitment to
contributing to the energy transition by offering tailored
solutions for farmers, in addition to our offer for industrial and
commercial customers”, says Benjamin Simonis, Chief Executive
Officer of Helexia Group.
“By combining the strengths of Helexia,
Terravene and Voltalia, we provide the agricultural sector with
innovative, sustainable energy solutions that combine with
agricultural production over the very long term”, adds
Sébastien Clerc, Chief Executive Officer of Voltalia.
