The French giant Neoen has just won several calls for tenders launched by the government concerning various solar projects. In total, the production capacity should exceed 160 MWp of green electricity.
Several solar parks for Neoen
During the last call for tenders organized by the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE), Neoen won 164 MWp of solar projects spread over seven sites. This result places the company at the top of the winners of this session. With this success, Neoen exceeds 2.5 GW of secure capacity in France. In fact, the company is consolidating its leadership in the sector.
Among these projects, six solar parks will be operational between 2026 and 2029, while the Tourneuve park (Lot-et-Garonne) with a capacity of 73 MWp will see the light of day in 2032 after work to adapt the electricity network. With these new victories, Neoen confirms its leading role in the energy transition in France. The 164 MWp recently won are in addition to the 500 MW of solar and wind projects already obtained in 2023.
New projects
An innovative aspect of Neoen's projects is the integration of agrivoltaism. Among the seven parks won, four will combine agricultural production and green electricity production. This approach, which now represents more than 50% of the company's solar projects in France, is a new way of producing green electricity while involving the agricultural world.
By collaborating with specialized agricultural partners, Neoen wants to transform agrivoltaism into a pillar of its development. These parks not only make it possible to respond to local energy challenges, but also to ensure sustainable management of agricultural land.
One of Neoen's major assets lies in its ability to advance issues with stakeholders: elected officials, farmers, landowners and state services. This approach guarantees the success of projects. Thus, future parks will not only contribute to the production of green electricitybut also to the strengthening of local infrastructure, thanks to targeted investments and strategic partnerships.
