Floating solar plant in France’s Isère taking shape

Ciel & Terre has completed the anchoring and is assembling the floating system for the Saint Savin floating solar project in Isère, France.

The Saint Savin is an 11 MWp floating solar project being developed by Énerg’isère and EGREGA on a gravel pit. 

Currently, the team is progressing with the project. Ciel & Terre announced that the anchoring phase is done, and the process of assembling the floating system is underway. 

“It is the first French project using the latest version of our floating solar technology, which facilitates operation and electrical equipment management among other things. It is compatible with almost all PV modules on the market and highly modular, offering a wide range of configurations to suit each project and its performance requirements,” said Ciel & Terre.

In January, Ciel & Terre started the construction of this 11 MW project, which will transform a quarry lake into a renewable energy hub. Once completed, the project will take the form of a solitary island in the middle of the lake.

The power plant project in Isère is part of Ciel & Terre’s larger 100 MWp floating solar initiative in Europe.
