Dhamma Energy (fully owned by Eni) has inaugurated its 87.5 MWp Athies-Samoussy solar farm project in France.
The five plants composing the Athies-Samoussy complex are now fully operational: this is the largest solar farm in the Hauts-de-France region and one of the ten largest in France. The solar plant will produce 93 GWh per year, which is equivalent to the domestic consumption of 40,000 households. This power plant will help to boost the renewable power generation capacity of Eni in accordance with its growth strategy in the renewables sector and contribute towards its total decarbonization target of products and processes by 2050.
The solar park covers 100 hectares of the former Laon-Athies NATO Air Base, which was abandoned and has now been converted into a sustainability-focused site.
