latest call for tenders issued by the French government
• Over half of these farms will be operational by 2028
• Following this sixth session, Neoen remains the top awardee in governmental
Programmation Pluriannuelle de l’Energie PPE2 ground-mounted PV tenders, with
a total of 642 MWp won
• Thanks to these successful bids, Neoen’s secured project portfolio in France

Neoen (ISIN Code: FR0011675362, ticker: NEOEN), one of the world’s leading producers of exclusively
renewable energy is announcing that it has been awarded 164 MWp of solar and agrisolar projects in the
latest call for tenders held by the French government’s Energy Regulation Commission (CRE).

Thanks to these seven projects, Neoen ranks first in terms of capacity awarded in this session and remains,
with 642 MWp, the top awardee in the ground-mounted solar plant category for the whole PPE21 calls of
tenders. These new awards take Neoen’s secured capacity 2 in France to over 2.5 GW.

Commissioning of the solar plants is expected to be phased between 2026 and 2029, and in 2032 for
Tourneuve (73 MWp) due to the completion of grid upgrade to be undergone by the grid operator.

This new success demonstrates Neoen’s ability to develop large-scale solar projects across the country.
While developing these projects, Neoen worked closely with local and state authorities and stakeholders in
the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Centre-Val de Loire, Grand Est, Hauts-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and
Occitanie regions of France. This joint effort ensures that these projects are well accepted by the local
communities while meeting both their energy needs and environmental goals.

Four of the awarded projects are agrivoltaic projects, which combine clean energy generation with
agriculture. Over half of Neoen’s solar projects in France features an agricultural element, further
strengthening its expertise in this sector. By partnering with renowned agricultural specialists, Neoen places
agrivoltaic at the core of its development strategy in France.




1In line with the objectives set out in the Programmation Pluriannuelle de l’énergie, the French government has launched a series of
seven calls for tenders, known as ‘PPE2’, over the period 2021-2026.

Guillaume Decaen, director of business development for France, said: “We are extremely proud of this
achievement. I would like to thank all our local stakeholders for helping us obtain the necessary approvals
and the farmers for placing their trust in us. 2023 was a record year for Neoen in France, with nearly 500 MW
of solar and wind capacity awarded in the CRE tenders. We are well on track to repeat this performance in
2024 and we will continue, alongside our local stakeholders, to develop virtuous and competitive projects
that accelerate the energy transition in our regions.”

Xavier Barbaro, CEO of Neoen, concluded: “I would like to congratulate the Neoen team on this success,
which reflects our sustained commitment to developing high-quality projects. Thanks to our significant
pipeline in solar, wind and storage, we are determined to further strengthen our contribution to the energy
transition, in France and around the world.”
