Neoen, one of the world’s leading and fastest-growing producers of exclusively renewable energy, has announced that it has been awarded 81.6 MWp in the call for tenders for ground-mounted solar farms held by the French government – CRE Innovation and CRE 4.9.
The 73.6 MWp won in CRE 4.9 is split between five projects, from 3 - 39 MWp, all following Neoen’s develop-to-own model.
Totalling 39 MWp, Loirecopark, the ground-mounted solar park in the Sarthe region, France, located on land belonging to a consortium of local authorities, will be one of Neoen’s largest in the country. The park will help restore former military land that has suffered from chemical pollution. When it opens in late 2022, the plant will produce enough green electricity to supply 26 000 people.
