Neoen divests 760 MW operating portfolio in France to Plenitude

The portfolio of 52 renewable energy assets includes 37 solar farms, 14 onshore wind farms, and one battery storage facility. Neoen will continue to manage the plants for some years through the provision of asset management services to Plenitude.

Post-transaction, Neoen’s capacity in operation or under construction in France will total 1.1 GW, including 754 MW of solar capacity, 307 MW of onshore wind, and 115 MW/213 MWh of battery storage. The company also has a significant pipeline of projects in development throughout France.

Neoen’s stated strategy is to proceed with regular and targeted divestment of assets from its portfolio. By unlocking capital for re-investment, this transaction will contribute significantly to the accelerated pace of Neoen’s growth, including the financing of new assets and the pioneering of innovative energy solutions.

The transaction, which is targeted for completion by year end, remains subject to customary closing conditions including the issuance of regulatory approvals.

Stefano Goberti, CEO of Plenitude, commented: “The acquisition expands our presence in France, where we already serve around 1 million retail customers and where we are growing in both energy solutions and e-mobility markets. Through this operation, we strengthen our integrated business model and accelerate progress towards achieving our strategic objectives.”

Guillaume Decaen, Regional CEO of Neoen France, added: “This transaction is a recognition of Neoen’s end-to-end expertise in developing, building, and operating quality assets. We look forward to providing asset management services to Plenitude and to maintaining our relationships with local stakeholders. With close to 2 GW of capacity delivered in France we are proud to remain the country’s leading independent player, and we are more dedicated than ever to accelerating the energy transition in France.”

Xavier Barbaro, Group CEO of Neoen, concluded: “I congratulate the Neoen team on this important transaction. Through capturing and reinvesting the value of our top-quality assets, we are able to accelerate our pace of growth. Additionally, through delivering 2 GW of new capacity per year, Neoen is able to play an increasingly active role in advancing the energy transition in France and around the world.”
