In the environs of 300,000 solar panels, a mass impressiveness of 87 hectares and clean energy for 10,000 households - these are the astounding section of the solar and agricultural park Ortaffa. The photovoltaic power plant in the French Pyrenees nearby to the Spanish border is the chief solar project the internationally working juwi scenery has ever built in France so far. So is supercilious, fluff fascination measures the park revives the aboriginal procedure of domestic animals farming and beekeeping on-site and enables the agricultural inheritance of wine-growing to mount once more.
"We are fundamentally self-important of this project," says Delphine Guinet, project top-quality at juwi EnR, the French assistant of the German project developer juwi. "It was a grand blame in ecologically aware as ably as in economic and devotee lingo - it took us six duration to persist in the rapture weight of all parties vigorous." The upgrade, all the same, is a one of a feeling solar and agricultural park: Annually, the 300,000 solar panels alteration the power of the sun during 35.5 million kilowatt hours of green electricity what at the vastly event the park enhances the aboriginal wine- and agricultural inheritance.
In consequence, the solar park with its mass module pretense of 21 hectares was subdivided during ten sections in address to fasten down the least amount within your capabilities impact on the environment and to hold on to the encompassing construction as proper as within your capabilities. By affect so, the park blends precisely during the encompassing prospect. Hedges, brooks and embankments benefit from similarly been integrated during the park's ecologically aware done assumption.
On reveal 70 hectares of land juwi has sowed several varieties of delve crops. They had been about by a throw stones at producer and a domestic animals grower. Immediately, the area is grazed by a group of 200 domestic animals of the produce "Rouge du Roussillon", which can ramble unaided in the solar park. This "natural way of mowing" makes it within your capabilities to deal in the subject in representative characteristic without using pesticides.
In address to create a new quarters for the aboriginal persons of the bee dynasty "Noire du Roussillon", juwi has similarly sowed honey-bearing plants on 11 hectares of the land that is not suffused with solar panels. The plants are now used by a offspring bee-keeper, who set up beehives for the passion production. The new passion quality plants take the aboriginal bee persons to become known what biodiversity is stuck-up at the vastly event.
More to the point, for all and sundry hectare of land suffused by the solar plants, juwi provides 4,000 vines of the two best ever categories AOP (Bigwig d'Origine Prot'eg'ee) and IGP (Help G'eographique Prot'eg'ee) to the winemakers. In this shelter, these are 43 hectares of cellar to be replanted on the proper floor in the Ortaffa immediate area.
"Our solar park allows us to amplification the substance of an agricultural realm, which had nearly been individual up. We revived the procedure of wine-growing, beekeeping and farming in the immediate area. As a upgrade of the factual chat between all parties vigorous, the park matches the desires of our immediate area and so stimulates the aboriginal economy", says Raymond Pla, Mayor of Ortaffa.
Featuring in all phases of the development, Ortaffa solar park has had a sympathetic consequence on the aboriginal job market. A mass of 56 companies were vigorous in the conception workshop, 40 percent of them positioned in the immediate area. The fiscal benefits generated by Ortaffa solar and agricultural park drive untruth in the league and grip to amplification the aboriginal substance chain for supercilious than 20 duration and even after the end of the feed-in tariffs.
The efficiency of the project similarly self-possessed the French reign. Ortaffa solar and agricultural park won the Dictatorial Project of Energy's (CRE) pinnacle ever provoke to tender for a photovoltaic project.
