The plant is expected to produce 7.6 GWh of clean electricity in the first year of operation and meet between 15% and 20% of the factory’s energy consumption needs. It will help offset 4,800 tonnes of carbon emissions.
The electricity will be supplied to the factory under a power purchase agreement (PPA) between Imerys and Yellow Door Energy.
Midal Solar has been picked as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the project. Construction is set to start in the second half of this year with commissioning expected by 2023.
The project will support the French producer's target to cut its carbon emissions by 36% by the end of the decade.
