Spain headquartered renewable energy leader Iberdrola and Solvay are partnering in a new project to supply green electricity to Solvay's plants in Tavaux and Saint Fons in France. Under the agreement, a 172-hectare site will be used to build a photovoltaic power plant, part of whose output will be purchased by Solvay for its industrial plants through a 20-year corporate power purchase agreement.The solar installation, which will be built and operated by Iberdrola Renouvelables France, will occupy 77 hectares and will have around 100,000 photovoltaic modules. The rest of the available area will be dedicated to preservation measures to ensure the full integration of the project into its surroundings. The plant will produce almost 75 gigawatt hours per year, making it one of the largest in Europe. 60% of the green electricity produced will go to Solvay's industrial sites in Tavaux and Saint Fons
