Commercial commissioning of the Voie des Monts and the Mont de Bagny wind farms (France)

The Voie des Monts wind farm (10 MW) and the Mont de Bagny wind farm (24 MW) are added to the 549 MW currently operated by Boralex in France.

“The Voie des Monts and the Mont de Bagny wind farms are the two first great achievements of the Ecotera Développement portfolio acquired by Boralex in December 2015, noted Patrick Decostre, Vice President and General Manager of Boralex Europe. These two commissioning bring us closer to our ambitious objectives, which are supported by a political and economic environment particularly favorable to the development of the French wind industry.”

The Voie des Monts wind farm comprises five Vestas V100 wind turbines, each with a unit capacity of 2 MW (for a total installed capacity of 10 MW). The Mont de Bagny wind farm comprises eight Siemens SWT113 wind turbines, each with a unit capacity of 3 MW (for a total installed capacity of 24 MW). Both wind farms are covered by a 15-year energy purchased contract with Electricité de France (EDF), respectively enacted on July 10 for the Voie des Monts wind farm and on August 2 for the Mont de Bagny wind farm.

Altogether, they will power more than 30 000 homes per year and avoid 11 000 tons of CO2 emission per year.
