History

The company was born from the acquisition of Solaire Direct by ENGIE, then renamed ENGIE Solar, it allows ENGIE to become one of the main players in the French market of photovoltaic panels.

Solaire Direct

2006: Solairedirect is founded: a 100% solar PV company active throughout the solar value chain. According to the founder Thierry Lepercq, “PV energy shall become the cheapest energy in the 5 years to come”.

2011: Solairedirect expands its international activities, notably in India, South Africa and Chile.

In the past, Solairedirect has developed 57 solar power plants, representing a total of 486 MW, and at the time was operating a gross capacity of 224 MW in France, with the ambition of developing 125 MW per year. Outside of France, it is targeting South Africa, India, Chile, the United States, Mexico and Thailand, and has a portfolio of projects in the pre-construction phase of more than 4.5 gigawatts (GW).

ENGIE Solar

2015: Solairedirect is acquired by ENGIE Group.

2017: Solairedirect is rebranded: ENGIE Solar is created out of it with a focus on EPC activities and leveraging off the greater global presence of ENGIE Group.

2020: ENGIE Solar sets a target of over 1.5 GW per year as a solar panel supplier.

Strategy

The aim is to boost ENGIE's ambitions in solar energy and give the Group the means to deploy them in priority countries.

Around the world, the company provides expertise and cutting-edge technologies in solar energy systems thanks to the experience, skills and commitment of their employees.

At the end of 2019 & Beginning of 2020, after several works conducted with internal and external stakeholders, ENGIE SOLAR has defined its priorities in terms of transformation objectives: a plan to reposition itself as a key player.

Three major initiatives have been launched with specific objectives to bring direct benefits to the BUs, address key challenges and support their ambitions:

- 2-year implementation action plan: The action plan aims to improve the whole of ENGIE Solar. The first results are expected from 2020 onwards, mainly in terms of processes and tools, but also by better managing expertise and knowledge through solar networks and learning programs.

- A new organization: From July 1st 2021: ENGIE Solar is deeply reviewing its organizational structure, mainly in the head office functions in France, with the creation of 3 departments: Development & Sales, Project Delivery, Industrial & Health, Safety, Environment (HSSE)

- 5-year strategic roadmap: determines the main options in terms of business models for ENGIE Solar in the different countries.

ENGIE Solar aims to fulfill its industrial mission in a collaborative, competitive and innovative manner, with the promise to deliver projects to the highest quality and safety standards, on time and on budget.

The company provides EPC services and offer customized and end-to-end turnkey solutions to design and build utility-scale solar PV plants with:

- Advanced and de-risked technologies, optimized LCOE and maximum lifetime value of the facility.

-The highest standards of quality, health and safety.

-On-budget and on-schedule project execution-Guaranteed PV performance-Guaranteed power and revenue

Solar Parks in operation>>>>>> A PLACER DANS LA PARTIE KEY FIGURES?

INDIA Andhra pradesh, kadapa

In 2017 following a competitive bidding process, in India in the context of a sharp drop in energy prices, ENGIE Solar (formerly Solairedirect India ) won a solar project with a total capacity of 338 MWp. ENGIE proposed the most competitive bid at Rs. 3.15/kWh (about $48.7/MWh). The park, named NTPC Kadapa, is located in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, and was commissioned in 2019. The ENGIE Group now totals more than 810 MWp in the country, allowing it to maintain its leadership position in the market.

Recently, following the annual India Solar Summit, ENGIE Solar was awarded in the "large-scale solar project" category for the commissioning of a 250 MW solar power project in Kadapa. The award was given to Prakash Morankar, Chief Operating Officer of ENGIE Solar India. (TO BE DEVELOPED?)

FRANCE Gréoux-les-Bains

The park, commissioned in June 2017, covers more than 180 hectares.

Thanks to its 300,000 solar panels and 50 electrical transformer stations spread over the 2 locations of Vallongue (88.5 hectares) and Coteau de Rousset (92.7 hectares), it will produce 128 GWh per year. Currently the largest solar park in France, it has a capacity of 82 MW. The site's low-lying and poorly ventilated location allows for a significant reduction in CO² emissions and rejections, in the order of 50,000 tons per year.

REPUBLIC OF SENEGAL Santhiou Mekhe

The second solar farm inaugurated in Senegal, this is one of the largest solar energy sources in West Africa. Built in Santhiou-Mekhe, in the region of Thies, brings an additional capacity of 29 megawatts to the power grid of Senelec, the public operator.

Combining several parties, from Meridiam to ENGIE solar (formerly SOLAIREDIRECT), for maintenance to Fonsis, the Senegalese sovereign wealth fund, and to Proparco, the private sector arm of the French Development Agency (AFD), the total cost was 27 billion CFA francs (41.16 million euros)

This development has enabled the electrification of rural areas to increase from 32.5% to 60% in 2018, up to 100% in 2020.
