Boralex Passes 1 GW Mark on French Soil

The 11 MW Blanches Fosses wind farm is located in the department of Aisne in France and brings Boralex’s capacity in France to 1,004 MW and its total worldwide capacity to 2,066 MW. The estimated annual electricity output from this site is estimated at over 29,500 MWh, equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 5,500 homes.

“Blanches Fosses is the second wind farm commissioned in 2020 in France. In the midst of the health crisis, Blanches Fosses is proof that France is and remains a territory with high growth potential for renewable energy development. This is two celebrations in one with this commissioning and on our 30th anniversary, we were able to go above the symbolic 1 GW mark in operation in France,” said Nicolas Wolff, Vice-President and General Manager Boralex,Europe.

“I want to acknowledge the commitment and the hard work of our employees and vendors in finishing up at the Blanches Fosses work site. Thanks to them, we were able to make up for work site delays that we had last spring because of the lockdowns and commission it on time.” added Patrick Decostre, Boralex Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer.
