Energiekontor has been awarded a fixed energy price tender for two solar park projects in the Occitania region of south-east France.
The French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) has awarded the two French PV schemes Rignac (EKF Parc Solaire Dongay) and Lachapelle-Auzac (EKF Parc Solaire Le Batut) with capacities of around 17MWp and 24MWp respectively.
The tariff set for the electricity generated has a term of 20 years. The strike price is indexed annually for inflation.
Energiekontor chief executive Peter Szabo said: “We congratulate our French team on this success.
“After receiving building permits for the two French solar park projects at the beginning of this year, we are now also pleased to have been awarded the contracts for these projects in this year’s tender process.
“These milestones show that our long, hard work in the tough French market are beginning to bear fruit. If everything goes as expected, we will be able to achieve the first two financial closes in France as early as the first quarter of 2025.”
