🔋Nous sommes fiers d’annoncer le lancement de la construction d’une des plus grandes centrales de stockage d’électricité de France, à Boulouparis, en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Une fois mise en opération, la centrale permettra de délivrer 50 MW pendant 3 heures chaque jour, grâce à plus de 200 MWh de capacité de stockage. Un véritable atout pour réguler et stabiliser le réseau et intégrer davantage d’énergies renouvelables dans le mix électrique néo-calédonien. Un projet au service du territoire • Soutien à la transition énergétique de l’ile et à son autonomie énergétique • Partenariat fort avec les communautés locales et acteurs publics/privés 🤝 Le projet associe investisseurs institutionnels et communautés coutumières, garantissant des retombées économiques partagées et durables. Avec une mise en service prévue pour 2027, cette centrale s’inscrit pleinement dans l’ambition de la Nouvelle-Calédonie de réduire de 75 % ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre d’ici 2035. #TransitionÉnergétique #Storage #Renouvelables #NouvelleCalédonie  .@[Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France], @[BNC - Banque de Nouvelle Calédonie], @[AFD - Agence Française de Développement], @[BCI - Banque Calédonienne d'Investissement], @[Bpifrance]

It's a wrap! Akuo vient de clôturer la collecte de financement participatif pour le projet agrivoltaïque de Saulieu, soit 806 000€ levés en 1 mois !    ➡️Avec ce succès, nous clôturons 9 mois de collectes pour 3 projets agrivoltaïques dans le département de la Côte-d'Or : Sombernon, Saint-Martin de la Mer et Saulieu. ➡️En tout, c'est plus de 5 millions d'euros collectés grâce à 900 investisseurs locaux issus de Côte-d'Or et des départements limitrophes qui bénéficieront de la rentabilité de la centrale.   Les fonds récoltés concourent à l’installation de plus de 54 MW de capacité solaire locale, tout en sécurisant et pérennisant six exploitations agricoles.    Ces campagnes de financement participatif sont le témoin d’un engagement fort de la part des citoyens pour un changement de modèle énergétique plus durable. C’est également le signe d’un engouement certain pour ce type de produit d’épargne, qui concilie sens et performances.  #agrivoltaïsme #Renouvelables @[Lendopolis] @[Lendosphere]

☀️ Building a responsible solar industry: a must for Europe’s energy transition   During the panel “Building Responsible Solar: Policy Pathways to Sustainable Supply Chains” at Sustainable Solar Europe 2025 in Brussels, @[Alexandra Sombsthay]([remove]-iCi), our Executive VP Sustainability & External Relations, shared a powerful message:   The energy transition must be built on transparent, responsible, and resilient supply chains.   Amid regulatory uncertainty, Alexandra emphasized that responsible sourcing and due diligence are not just legal obligations, they are a true competitive advantage. At Akuo, this belief translates into concrete actions: ➡️ Supplier Code of Conduct and procurement policies to ensure ethical practices ➡️ Risk mapping and audits down to the mines to prevent forced labor ➡️ ESG requirements in contracts to strengthen traceability and transparency   Our commitment goes beyond compliance: it’s about creating value for investors, clients, partners, and local communities.   By joining the @[Solar Stewardship Initiative SSI], we reaffirm that sustainability must remain at the heart of corporate strategy, even in a rapidly changing policy landscape. By 2026, SSI principles will apply to all Akuo operations. @[Javier Martín Cerracín](urn:li:person:-gRJARweH7) @[Jules Schilz] @[Leda Langberg] @[Artemis Fakorelli] @[SolarPower Europe] @[Katinka Rambert] @[Ian Fernandez Rodriguez] #Renewables #EnergyTransition

🏗️ Work is progressing well on the extension of the Santas solar plant in Portugal! Located across Monforte, Borba, and Estremoz in the Alentejo region, the plant is expanding from 180 MWp to 225 MWp, thanks to the addition of 45 MWp through over-equipment. ☀️ Once completed, the extension will generate 82 GWh/year. Together with the original plant it will be enough to power 125,000 households and avoid 83,500 tons of CO₂ annually. The base camp and fencing have been installed. Trenching began in June, the structures are being assembled, and the first photovoltaic panels have been installed last week. 🤝 This extension has been made possible thanks to the support of more than 3,000 @[AkuoCoop] by @[Lendosphere] investors who financed part of the project. Commissioning is expected in the second quarter of 2026 and will be another step forward in Portugal's energy transition.

Akuo was proud to join the EUFORES parliamentary workshop, sponsored by MP Anna Pic, to discuss “The Clean Industrial Deal as a driver of economic prosperity and energy transition in France”. @[Alexandra Sombsthay]([remove]-iCi), Executive VP Sustainability and External Relations, was invited to speak about photovoltaics serving the French energy transition. Key insights from her presentation: ☀️ In 2024, the French solar sector produced 23.1 TWh of electricity about 5% of national consumption, supported 67,000 jobs, and generated €2 billion in fiscal benefits. 📉 The cost of solar has dropped by 87% since 2010, making it the most competitive electricity generation technology. 💡 Innovations like agrivoltaics and battery storage are strengthening the sector’s resilience, supporting farmers, and ensuring grid flexibility. 🔑 The solar sector is key for the energy transition in France as it offers a cheap and local electricity: it is important to sustain it with political boldness and long-term vision. At Akuo, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing solar energy as a cornerstone of France’s energy transition. We believe that constructive collaboration between policymakers, industry, and civil society is essential to overcoming current challenges and ensuring a sustainable future. #EnergyTransition #Renewables @[Neil Makaroff] @[Benoît GILBERT] @[Claire Roumet]([remove]-HZfs2lU) @[Valérie Corre] @[EUFORES] @[Syndicat des énergies renouvelables SER]
