The f irst photovoltaic park dedicated to
meeting Group demand
As part of reducing our CO
2
emissions by 30% between
2022 and 2040 and ensuring the security of our energy
supply, we are focusing primarily on increasing the amount
of energy we use from renewable sources. The off icial
opening of a new solar park at La Dominelais (France) in
June 2024 is integral to this strategic direction. Designed
to supply our 35 French manufacturing sites, the new unit
will meet 5% of total annual Group electricity demand.
To ensure access to green energy at a competitive f ixed
price, we have signed a Corporate PPA (Power Purchase
Agreement) with the operator Urbasolar under the
terms of which it will source power from the Dominelais
photovoltaic plant for a contractual period of 15 years.

The TIMAC AGRO plant in Charleroi embraces
photovoltaic technology
As part of reducing its dependence on carbon-based
energy, TIMAC AGRO BeLux has commissioned a new
photovoltaic park at its Charleroi plant in Belgium. With
1,869 solar panels covering a total area of 4,000 m², this
1 MWp installation will generate more than 900 MWh of
power annually; suff icient to meet around 10% of total
site energy demand. In terms of carbon impact, it will
reduce emissions by 170 tonnes of CO
2
equivalent per
year. Around 20% of the power generated will be sold
to the grid during off-peak periods, maximising the
economic eff iciency and environmental contribution of
this photovoltaic project.
