The Renewable Electricity Production division includes Rubis Photosol’s photovoltaic electricity production activities, as well as the 18.5% stake in HDF Energy, a world pioneer in hydrogen electricity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
We specialise in large-scale ground-mounted installations (surface area over 3 hectares), car park shading and rooftop installations for professionals (surface area over 500 m2<\/sup>). Present across the entire value chain, we have chosen to bring all our skills in-house, from securing land through to maintenance, taking in development, financing and construction. Each installation is a territorial project. Our expertise enables us to develop tailor-made agrivoltaic projects and rehabilitate derelict or degraded land.<\/p> Positioned among the leaders in solar energy production in France, we are also developing installations in Italy and Spain. Our aim is to become a major player in the production of photovoltaic electricity in Europe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We take care of all the necessary administrative procedures, from securing the land to obtaining planning permission. Our teams regularly go out into the field to define each project in dialogue with elected representatives, local residents and government departments. Studies are carried out by independent consultants to assess the environmental, landscape and agricultural impacts. In parallel, the design of each power plant is based on the topography and connectivity to the electricity grid.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Our power plants feature electricity resale contracts with guaranteed prices over a 20-year period. The financing stage aims to create low-risk financial products for investors. At the same time, we draw on nonrecourse bank loans from major financial institutions. Our approach is largely based on a non-recourse financing model, involving the creation of a separate entity for each project we develop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Once planning permission has been granted, the site is planned in conjunction with the connections department.\u00a0From infrastructure engineering to construction, our engineers do their utmost to create an installation that combines performance and sustainability. A dedicated research and innovation team selects the best technologies for the specific needs of each project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We operate and maintain our plants with the constant aim of improving their operational efficiency. Efficient management of the entire photovoltaic fleet is based on planning and monitoring manufacturers’ warranties; economies of scale enable us to maintain competitive operating costs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\tTailor-made development <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
