RES (Renewable Energy Systems) is set to conclude the repowering of its 20.8 MW Souleilla-Corbières wind farm located in Aude county in southern France. RES has been in collaboration with POMALeitwind for the project. POMALeitwind  has selected the world leader in cable transport and specialist in onshore wind turbines to supply the first multi-megawatt onshore wind turbines to be assembled in France.

The Souleilla-Corbières wind farm, consists of 16 wind turbines, has been providing clean electricity for 27 000 people every year and reduces CO2 annual emissions by 30,600 tonnes. In the 17 years it has been functioning, that’s over half a million tonnes of CO2.

The RES owned project, nominated at the CRE-2 onshore wind tender, will now enter the development phase whilst continuing to export renewable power to the grid.

RES provides renewable energy services adapted to global needs and aims to continue to optimise its wind farms, thanks to repowering. This new type of operation shows that RES is prepared and capable of meeting the growing needs for renewing and repowering wind farms.
