EDF Energies Nouvelles confirms its project to extend the Toucan solar power plant with storage, co-built with the Montsinery-Tonnegrande Town Hall.
This project, with an installed capacity of 5 MWp, was selected in August 2017 as part of the CRE II call for tenders, which concerned the construction and operation of photovoltaic installations with a power greater than 100 kWp with storage device, located in non-interconnected zones (ZNI).
When it is commissioned in the second half of 2018, the installation will have a total installed capacity of 10 MWp.
This project contributes to the EDF Group's CAP 2030 strategy, which aims in particular to double its renewable capacities by 2030.
Also located in the town of Montsinéry-Tonnégrande, the Toucan 2 photovoltaic project complements the Toucan solar power plant with battery storage, in operation since 2015.
Made up of more than a hundred thousand solar panels, the future Toucan 2 power plant will be equipped with a remote control system for electrical equipment, developed by EDF Store & Forecast and EDF Energies Nouvelles.
When it is commissioned, the production of this installation will be equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 8,000 Guyanese households.
“The realization of this new renewable energy project in our town, designated “Positive energy territory for green growth in the making” in 2016, confirms the commitment of Montsinéry-Tonnégrande to continue its efforts to support the deployment of the transition energy on its territory", declared Patrick Lecante, Mayor of the town of Montsinery-Tonnegrande.
“Building on its first achievement in 2015, EDF Energies Nouvelles is proud to carry out this new photovoltaic power plant project alongside the Montsinery-Tonnegrande Town Hall.
Toucan 2 will be a vector of growth for the local economy. EDF Energies Nouvelles is committed to supporting local stakeholders in participating in its projects.
Through the creation of Toucan 2 which uses energy storage, a cutting-edge technological solution, we are collectively contributing to achieving the objectives set for Guyana in terms of renewable energies, as well as energy autonomy. of the department », added David Augeix, Southern Region Director of EDF Energies Nouvelles.
