We are not going fast enough ! 🎯 We need to effectively triple our renewable energy capacity if we are to achieve our climate goals. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 This why the Solar Impulse Foundation is joining forces with the Global Renewables Alliance and other key players in calling governments to NOW DELIVER CHANGE !!   And let’s not forget that #renewables and #efficiency are two sides of the same coin!   ⚡️ While we do need to decarbonise our energy consumption thanks to renewables, we first and above all need to reduce our needs.   Energy efficiency is the backbone of #decarbonisation AND competitiveness. The cheapest fuel is the one we do not consume!   #3XRenewables #2XEfficiency #NDCs #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition #TripleUpDoubleDown #DeliverChange RMI⏐European Alliance to Save Energy (EU-ASE)⏐The Coalition for Energy Savings⏐Global Renewables Alliance

EUROPE’S LARGEST FLOATING SOLAR PLANT is under construction Today, céline, Construction manager at Ciel & Terre for Ilots Blandin floating solar project shares with us the stakes related to the construction of Europe’s biggest floating solar platform, 74 MWp located in France. “The 74 MWp of the Ilots Blandin project are divided into 6 islands installed on 6 different reservoirs, with 3 reservoirs installed simultaneously by 3 different teams. The sheer scale of the project requires excellent coordination and communication between the various departments involved in the construction, as well as with the other companies involved, while remaining flexible when necessary. The speed of completion requires constant vigilance to ensure the highest level of quality during the assembly, and to correct any behaviour that could compromise worker safety.” Such an achievement is made possible by rigour and teamwork. This unprecedented project in Europe is now materializing featuring other experts SOLUTIONS 30 GROUP, PerPetum Energy. Stay tuned on Q ENERGY (France) and Ciel & Terre International LinkedIn pages to know more about Europe’s biggest floating solar farm in the times to come. #project #floatingsolar #biggest #europe #france #solar #renewableenergy #cieletterre

THE FLOATING SOLAR PROJECT TO GUESS LAST WEEK WAS… Saint-Savin! 🔎🏞   Saint Savin is the first floating solar plant in France using the Hydrelio® aiR Optim technology. Located in France near Lyon, this project, developed by Énerg'isère and EGREGA, supplied and designed by Ciel & Terre and built by Gensun and Ciel & Terre, will provide energy for many households in the region through its 11 MWp capacity. Its annual energy production of 14 GWh equivalent to 6 000 accommodations per year provide electricity for the whole village of Saint Savin.   We studied the viability of the project beforehand through various environmental studies (bathymetry, soil analysis...) to ensure that the quarry lake’s main activity would not be interrupted or disturbed. The most challenging part of the project we had to deal with was certainly the anchoring. Indeed, we had to find the best solution to combine durability and space optimisation, and that’s why we chose this particular design for the project. Afterwards, the anchoring installation demanding much technics because of the nature of the soil. Get introduced in images and words of different stakeholders of the project with the video below. 👀👇   We are pleased this projects could also be materialized thanks to partners like: 🤝 Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes Mairie de Saint-Savin CAPI (Communauté d’Agglomération Porte de l’Isère) Without them, the project would not have been possible.   For further information, watch the full video about Saint Savin FPV project. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQq9MQCi To discover more projects we designed, supplied and built, visit here. 👉 https://lnkd.in/erkV35Ui #project #france #europe #solar #reneweableenergy #expertise #cieletterre

Nuclear Power's Green Financing Milestone: EDF Secures €5.8 Billion for Plant Upgrades Key Points: ·      €5.8 billion in green financing: EDF has secured significant funding to support the life extension of its nuclear power plants. ·      Alignment with EU taxonomy: The financing demonstrates the growing market for nuclear investments that meet the EU's green standards. ·      Safety-focused upgrades: The funds will support crucial safety improvements in response to the Fukushima-Daiichi accident. ·      Controversy and potential: While nuclear power's green classification is debated, EDF's deal highlights its potential role in a low-carbon future with the right frameworks in place. In a significant development for the future of nuclear energy, French utility company EDF has obtained €5.8 billion in green loans to fund the life extension of its nuclear power plants across France. This financing, arranged with major banks including BNP Paribas and Société Générale, underscores the growing financial market for nuclear investments aligned with the EU's green taxonomy. The funds will support EDF's "Grand Carénage" program, launched in 2011, which aims to spend €55 billion by 2025 on upgrading its plants to improve performance and enable continued operation beyond 40 years. The program includes crucial safety upgrades in response to the Fukushima-Daiichi accident. While the green classification of nuclear power remains controversial, EDF's successful securing of green loans demonstrates that with the right financing and regulatory frameworks, nuclear could play a larger part in Europe's low-carbon future. As the energy transition accelerates, the role of nuclear power will undoubtedly remain a point of contention. However, EDF's deal serves as a powerful signal of the potential for nuclear to contribute to our shared climate goals when paired with stringent safety standards and responsible waste management.

What conditions should be in place for nuclear to be considered a "green" investment? Let's discuss in the comments!

As the #solarenergy industry continues its steady growth, one sub-sector is becoming particularly prominent. Just as agricultural photovoltaics (agri-PV) is gaining traction worldwide, #France has introduced new legislation aimed at promoting its adoption within the country. In this blog article, we’ll discuss this exciting technology and what its adoption means for the French solar sector in the future.
