Corsica Sole announces the start of construction of the Cirey-sur-Vezouze solar power plant

Corsica Sole, an independent solar energy producer and European leader in energy storage, is proud to announce the start of construction of a new solar power plant in Cirey-sur-Vezouze, in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department (54). With 15 years of experience and a team of 120 employees, Corsica Sole continues to develop its fleet of power plants with ambitious projects located throughout France.

This new plant, equipped with 8,600 solar panels, will cover the equivalent of the electricity consumption of the municipality of Cirey-sur-Vezouze. This project (Corsica Sole’s second in the Grand Est region) is a further illustration of our commitment to revitalising abandoned industrial wastelands while contributing to the energy transition.

Corsica Sole is launching the construction of a solar power plant in Cirey-sur-Vezouze on 4.2 hectares with a capacity of 5.4 MWp and an annual production of 6 GWh. This project, using 8,600 panels, will cover the electricity consumption of the municipality, which has more than 2,000 inhabitants.

This project is part of Corsica Sole’s commitment to energy transition and the reduction of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions in the Grand Est region.

Work will begin in July 2024 with a demolition phase for the industrial wasteland buildings scheduled from late August to late October. The project will rehabilitate the former glassworks in Cirey-sur-Vezouze as a source of renewable energy, financed by Corsica Sole, including asbestos removal and demolition of buildings. This project supports the ‘Grand Est région verte’ initiative, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 77% by 2050.
