ENGIE and SUEZ have created a partnership to develop photovoltaic solar power parks at around a hundred Recycling & Recovery waste storage facilities, representing a total potential of around 1 GWp.
Located at the heart of the Grands Moulins Ecocentre, the Drambon-Pontailler park is the first site completed after 1 year of development. With a power of 12 MWc, it will produce electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of 6,800 people, corresponding to almost a third of the population of the CAP Val de Saône canton. This 20 hectare facility, on a redeveloped waste storage site, consists of 27,500 modules and represents an investment of EUR10 million (US$11 million) for ENGIE.
Studies are underway for a second plant, which could receive planning permission in 2019.
