PARIS, FRANCE, June 17, 2010. AES Solaire France, an affiliate of AES Solar Energy Ltd., held the inauguration of their 1.2 MW ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Sault (Vaucluse), France today. The solar PV plant is located on a former military site, which was used to store a nuclear missile from the mid 1960s until it was dismantled in the late 1990s. The mayor of Sault, André Faraud, said “We are pleased that the former military site was converted into a renewable energy project.” Kristen Panerali, AES Solar Country Manager for France stated, “This is our first operating solar PV project in France, an important market for AES Solar. We look forward to developing and operating new projects here.” The plant began commercial operations in December 2009, and produces enough electricity for about 600 households. The electricity is sold to Electricité de France (EDF) under a long-term contract. The plant was financed by Credit Cooperative and was constructed under a turnkey contract by GES-Global Energy Services. |
