Global EcoPower (GEP) is pleased to announce that the photovoltaic plant in Bourgneuf Mauges (Maine et Loire) was commissioned on 25th October 2011.

This project involved the turnkey construction by GEP, on behalf of the German group Leonidas Associates, of 55 000 m² of photovoltaic greenhouses for an installed capacity of 3.49 MWp.

The plant will produce 3,978,600 kWh annual electricity output corresponding to the consumption of 2 700 people and will prevent the yearly emission of nearly 1,900 tons of CO2.

Thanks to the greenhouses shelter, the farmer will now be able to start the culture of its red fruits, free from any weather worries.
