The Iliad Group (Free in France<\/strong>, Play in Poland<\/strong>) announced that its branches have signed three more PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) involving the supply of EKOenergy-labelled solar power in France, Italy, and Poland. In France<\/strong>, the EKOenergy supplier is Engie; in Italy<\/strong> and Poland<\/strong>, it\u2019s Statkraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iliad Group<\/strong> is Europe\u2019s sixth-largest telecommunications group, operating through its various subsidiaries in France, Italy, and Poland.\u00a0Two years ago, the Iliad Group decided to switch to 100% EKOenergy-labelled electricity<\/a>, as a way to contribute to speeding up the worldwide energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are happy that the Iliad Group<\/strong> reaffirms its choice of EKOenergy, now not as part of a \u2018normal electricity contract\u2019 but as part of their PPAs. A PPA<\/strong> is a long-term commitment contract (lasting from 5 to 20 years) between a consumer and an energy supplier, guaranteeing a defined and stable price. The Iliad Group is developing the use of PPAs in all the countries where it operates to support the use of renewable energies locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In France<\/strong>, the Iliad Group has undertaken to purchase the renewable electricity produced by the Magn\u00e9 photovoltaic farm in Sainte-Gemme, Charente-Maritime, for 15 years. This is Iliad\u2019s second PPA for EKOenergy-labelled power in Franc. Last year, the company signed another PPA, also with Engie, for the electricity produced by the Labrit photovoltaic farm in the Landes region of France. Together, these 2 PPAs cover 55 GWh of solar energy annually. Iliad\u2019s subsidiary Play signed a PPA for solar power with Stakraft in Poland<\/strong>. The power will come from a solar farm built by Better Energy, which specialises in large-scale renewable energy parks with an integrated focus on local and regional value creation and a solid commitment to nature conservation. Also in Italy<\/strong>, Iliad closed a PPA deal with Statkraft, for solar power from a solar farm that is currently being built in the Latina province. This plant has a nominal capacity of 27.9 MWp and will have an estimated production of 48 GWh per year. In total, the three PPAs signed will result in an energy capacity of 89.5 MW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read in more detail about each of these PPAs in the following articles and press releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
