Banque des Territoires (Caisse des Dépôts) and Voltalia have commissioned the Savane des Pères power plant in French Guiana, which combines a 3.8 MW solar plant with a 2.6 MW / 2.9 MWh battery storage system.
Jointly held by Voltalia and Caisse des dépôts, via Banque des Territoires, the Savane des Pères project was won in June 2016 during the call for tenders launched by the Ministry of Ecology, Energy and Sustainable Development.
The Savanes des Pères power plant is a 3.8 MW solar power plant associated with a 2.6 MW / 2.9 MWh storage unit, using lithium-ion batteries. The solution provided enables to inject electricity into the grid when the demand for electricity is highest, between 7.00 PM and 9.00 PM.
Located on a former communal landfill of 4.75 hectares belonging to the city of Sinnamary, the power plant rehabilitates a degraded site, creates jobs and contributes to the energy autonomy of Guiana.
