EDF Energies Nouvelles and steelmaker ArcelorMittal Méditerranée have commissioned the 12MW La Fossette solar plant in south-east France.
The project, which is located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, was developed and built by EDF EN land owned by ArcelorMittal at the Fos-sur-Mer industrial and port complex.
It covers a 15-hectare area and comprises over 45,000 photovoltaic panels.
A total of 40 people were involved in the 10-month construction of the wind farm, EDF said.
ArcelorMittal Méditerranée aims to facilitate renewable energy production by making available a portion of its industrial lands.
