Will a GW power plant be built in France?
A 1,000-hectare solar project in the Gironde (near the Cestas power station), called Horizéo, would be studied by Engie and Neoen. With a size of about 1 GW, it would be installed on a forest that would have to be cleared. It would be accompanied by a digital data storage data centre. It could also house a green hydrogen production unit, a battery storage centre to smooth the supply, as well as agricultural production.
The removal of such an area of forest is moving the local residents who have formed the environmental protection association Sepanso, says France-Bleue Gironde.
