Covering a total area of 11 hectares, the project will combine a 5-MW electrolyser with a 7 MWp agrivoltaics plant on the same site. The solar power plant will provide part of the green electricity needed to run the adjacent hydrogen production unit, with the remainder being supplied through renewable electricity purchase contracts. Ultimately, the electrolyser will be able to produce up to 2 tonnes of green hydrogen per day, equivalent to the consumption of 65 buses.
“This project, which combines agrivoltaics and hydrogen production, illustrates the innovative ambitions of Q ENERGY and Inthy. It is part of an overall approach to decarbonise non-electric uses in the region, involving local elected representatives, the farming community and industrial players,” said Corentin Sivy, Head of Development France at Q ENERGY.
