Boralex Successful in French Tender

These are two solar projects - Peyrolles en Provence (15.4 MW) in Bouches-du-Rhône and La Clé des Champs (12.5 MW) in Haute-Loire - and two wind farm projects - Mont de Bézard II (25.2 MW) in Marne and the Seuil de Bapaume extension (17.3 MW) in Pas-de-Calais.

"This success confirms that Boralex develops competitive projects, but also points out the vitality of solar power, a sector for which we have ambitious goals in France and in North America," said Nicolas Wolff, Vice President and General Manager of Boralex, Europe. "For 20 years we have made a conscious effort to situate our projects locally, so that they promote jobs and economic benefits while allowing communities to fully engage with their objectives for the energy transition."

The projects have received the necessary administrative approvals and allow Boralex to receive a feed-in premium agreement for a period of 20 years from the date of commissioning. Last year, Boralex was already able to secure more than 100 MW of new projects in the wind power tenders.
