Sonnedix worked with the EPC Solarpro for the construction of all plants, and network operator ENEDIS for the transmission facilities.
All plants are located in the Plateau d’Albion, a former site for nuclear ground-to-ground ballistic missiles, now repurposed to produce renewable energy. Sonnedix owns and operates seven solar PV plants within the Plateau.
