Yesterday, Orange announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Reservoir Sun, a leading player in solar self-consumption for businesses and local authorities, for the installation of a photovoltaic power plant in Bercenay-en-Othe (Aube), scheduled for commissioning in 2025.

The ground surface will cover 50,000m2, the equivalent of 7 soccer pitches.

With an installed capacity of 5MW (1MW for self-consumption and 4MW for re-injection), the plant will cover 20% of the site's energy needs, while any surplus electricity can be re-injected into the grid.

The production of local, low-carbon electricity, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 1,700 households, will save over 100 tonnes of CO2 per year.
