Boralex Inc. and Saint-Gobain have announced the signing of a 20-year renewable electricity purchase agreement in France, involving three power plants developed, built, and operated by Boralex. The combination of wind and solar technologies will provide Saint-Gobain's industrial operations in France with a renewable electricity supply, offering greater stability through the complementarity of these two energy sources. Due to this PPA, two solar power plants and one wind farm will come online between the first quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027.
These three parks will produce approximately 110 GWh per year, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 50,000 inhabitants and are expected to cover 10% of Saint-Gobain's electricity needs in France.
