News Synopsis

With the construction of the Rives Charentaises wind farm, Voltalia (Euronext Paris), a global player in renewable energy, confirms its expansion goals in wind energy in France.

The Rives Charentaises project will produce enough electricity to meet the needs of more than 32,800 inhabitants when it is fully operational in the first half of 2024, promoting energy independence and aiding in the fight against global warming.

The Rives Charentaises wind farm, which will have a total installed capacity of 37.4 megawatts, will be located in six towns between Vienne and Charente (Lizant, Genouillé, and Surin), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Each wind turbine will have a unit power of 2.2 megawatts.

"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-East region (Sud Vannier, Sarry and Molinons) in recent months, Voltalia is once again demonstrating its ability to complete ambitious projects that respond concretely to the multiple challenges we face: providing local green energy solutions and controlling our CO2 emissions,” said Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia. 

Voltalia competes globally in the field of renewable energy. The Group generates and sells electricity using facilities it owns and maintains, including those for wind, solar, hydraulic, biomass, and storage. More than 2,4 GW of generating capacity is currently operational or under construction for Voltalia, and the company has a portfolio of projects in development with a total capacity of 13.6 GW.

In addition to being an investor, Voltalia also offers services and aids its client investors in renewable energy projects at every stage, from planning to running and maintaining them.

As a leader in the corporate sector, Voltalia offers a comprehensive package to private businesses that include everything from local electricity production to the provision of green electricity and energy-saving services.
