The CERN selected Voltalia for its renewable energy supply

In 2024, CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), an internationally renowned scientific organization specializing in fundamental physics, and Voltalia have signed two Corporate PPAs.

CERN's particles accelerators on either side of the French-Swiss border near Geneva consume large quantities of electricity. CERN's commitments to purchase renewable electricity will avoid the emission of 8,775 tons of CO2 per year, thanks to Voltalia's solar power plants.

Under the terms of the Corporate PPA, CERN will purchase for 15 years the output of two solar power plants with a combined capacity of 26.8 megawatts, currently under development in the south of France. The combined output of these two plants will be equivalent to the consumption of 19,400 inhabitants.
