CERN partners with Voltalia for its renewable energy supply
CERN partners with Voltalia for its renewable
energy supply
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energy,
announces the signing of an electricity sales contract for two
solar farms under development in France
CERN (European Organization for Nuclear
Research), an internationally renowned scientific organization
specializing in fundamental physics, and Voltalia have signed two
Corporate PPAs1.
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.
CERN is committed to the continuous improvement
of its energy performance and will be ISO 50001 certified in
February 2023. CERN's objectives are to minimize the energy
required for its activities, improve energy efficiency and recover
waste energy. This partnership therefore complements CERN's major
efforts towards responsible energy management.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, stated:
“Voltalia is very proud to supply renewable energy to CERN, and
in particular to its world-renowned particles accelerators, which
demonstrated the existence of the Higgs boson. Our two photovoltaic
projects will make a tangible contribution to CERN's efforts to
protect the environment through the production of competitive,
low-carbon energy.”.
