First Solar, Inc. (Tempe, AZ, U.S.) on February 16th,
2017 announced that French solar photovoltaic (PV) company Photosol has
selected its thin film modules to power 14 utility-scale solar PV
plants with a total capacity of 106.5 MW.
The projects – developed and owned by
Photosol – are part of the third procurement round initiated by France’s
Commission de Régulation de l’Energie.
43 MW PV project will be located in Burgundy
The PV plants will be located in central and
southwest France, and will range from 4.5 MW to 43 MW in capacity. The
largest project will be located in Burgundy, with Jayme da Costa
Energie, a French subsidiary of Jayme da Costa Group, a leading
Portuguese engineering firm, providing the Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) for all the projects.
When completed, the PV plants are expected to supply
almost 134,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of solar power to the French
electricity grid in their first year of operation; enough electricity to
power 23,000 average French households.
These projects bring Photosol’s total portfolio of
PV plants, powered by First Solar modules, to almost 155 MW. Upon
completion, they will take First Solar’s total installed capacity in
Europe up to approximately 4.5 GW.
