With "mini Occitanie solar field", local and decarbonized energy for the territories

À l’occasion d’Energaïa, le forum européen des énergies renouvelables qui se tient à Montpellier, Jean-Marc Mateos, Président du groupe Solvéo, Christian Assaf, Président de l’AREC, l’Agence Régionale de l’Énergie et du Climat, et Julien Chardon, Président d’ilek, ont signé ce mercredi 8 décembre une convention de partenariat visant à la création de « Mini Champ Solaire Occitanie », pour co-développer, co-construire et co-exploiter en région de petites centrales solaires photovoltaïques.

Designed by Soléo Énergie to respond to the ambitions of the Air-Energy Climate Policy, Mini Solar Champ (MCS) offers to combine production and renewable energy consumption in short circuit, with in particular a live purchase by Ilek of electricity produced.Accessible to communities and territorial players, Mini solar Champ is supporting the reflection and implementation of small photovoltaic projects, without support mechanism, to enhance unprecedented land sites.Established as close as possible to consumer needs, the energy produced by the mini solar field is consumed locally.

In a context where the energy transition continues its development as close as possible to the territories, Soléo Énergie, the Arec and Ilek today combine their expertise and know-how in the field of development, production and supply of energyrenewable to promote a local offer through mini Occitanie solar field.Initially partner of Ilek at the national level for the production and local supply of electricity for residents (individuals and professionals), Soléo Energy combines with the Occitanie AREC to strengthen and make MCS radiate in Occitania.

Thanks to this tripartite partnership, the "mini Occitanie solar field" offer will contribute to the co-construction and the co-operation of projects favorable to the deployment of ENR in Occitania:

• By equipping small plots sometimes degraded or artificialized; • benefiting from a direct regime for the sale of electricity (via a PPA contract with Ilek) • by promoting the consumption of local energy, first technically inConnecting to the closest but also for the individual the possibility of selecting Ilek as a supplier; • by protecting biodiversity thanks to the partnership with the union of beekeepers of Occitania which promotes the establishment of bee colonies on these plots.

"Occitania is today the second French region producing photovoltaic energy with a power of 2195 megawatts recorded over the year 2020, or 21 % of the total power of the National Park.We also shelter almost 16% of the national solar park with more than 75,000 equipment identified.I congratulate myself that mini Occitanie solar field come to the dynamics of the regional photovoltaic sector!Comments Christian Assaf, President of AREC.

For Jean-Marc Mateos, president of the Soléo group: “We are delighted with the launch of this partnership which values synergies between regional actors in favor of the energy transition.We thus deploy an innovative solution which integrates into short circuit the consumption needs of individuals, professionals and local authorities.»»

For Julien Chardon, president of Ilek: “As a supplier of green energy in Occitanie, we are proud to go further in the energy transition through this partnership which allows us to extend our simple supplier activityTo that of producer and operator of projects enr in the region, alongside locally established actors such as AREC and Soléo Énergie.»»

About the AREC: tool in the Occitanie region, AREC manufactures energy transition solutions for the act of territories.The agency endeavors to offer actors suitable solutions, whether key in hand or specific, depending on the contexts of the actors of the territories of Occitania.Neutral, it carries an objective vision on solutions.Trusted third parties for the actors of the territories and at the service of the general interest, the added value of the AREC is located in its unique support on the entire value chain of the energy transition: from upstream toto the realization and financing of projects.

About Soléo: Soléo is an independent French group engaged in the development of renewable energies.The Soléo Energie entity develops, finances, builds and operates photovoltaic and wind farms of all sizes.Long -term actor in the process of carrying out renewable energy producing power plants, it promotes all phases of their development: from project engineering to their exploitation.More than 200 production plants are already operated by the group which has 6 agencies in France, and also deploys its international activities.Soléo Energie created Mini solar fields in 2019 to locally meet the objectives of the law relating to the Energy Transition for Green Growth.It is a solveo energy solution that is based on the development of photovoltaic projects of small sizes valuing non -exploited sites.

About Ilek: Ilek is a 100% renewable energy supplier (green and biogas electricity).Founded in 2016 on the short circuit model, Ilek puts renewable energy producers in France with consumers, as close as possible to their home.The supplier supplies directly from local producers based in France.Winner of the French Tech 120 for the second consecutive time, it is also the first renewable energy supplier to have been certified B Corp.With its 125,000 customers, Ilek has saved the saving of 100,000 tonnes of CO2 to date and thus actively participates in the energy transition.
