In another first for France, SNCF and Voltalia partnered on a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a capacity of nearly 150 MW. This Corporate PPA is the largest in France and ranks among the 10 most important corporate PPAs in Europe due to the volume of energy supplied.
The PPA covers a capacity of 143 MW and should provide between 3% and 4% of the power required for SNCF train traffic by 2022-2023. This agreement creates three new solar plants to be built, owned and operated by Voltalia, acting directly against climate change.
