The project was developed by the French Energiequelle subsidiary P&T Technologie in cooperation with EREA Ingenierie and won the CRE 4.6 tender in September 2019. A particular requirement of the invitation to tender was to comply with a strict ecological footprint of no more than 450 kilogram-equivalents of CO2 per kilowatt for the modules.
Over the next few months, around 36,000 modules with 405 watts each from the Chinese manufacturer Talesun will be constructed on 15.6 hectares. The French group Bouygues SA will carry out the construction from the access point to the transfer station. Construction management is carried out by P&T Technology. The commissioning is scheduled for July 2021.

The electricity produced will be remunerated at 5.15 euro cents per kilowatt hour, which has been fixed for 20 years. The forecast annual yield is about 16.2 million kilowatt hours. This corresponds to the consumption of 6,750 two-person households per year.
In the last few years, Energiequelle has implemented photovoltaics plants in Germany, Spain and Italy. The company is currently in charge of the management of 22 plants. (mfo)
