Cestas Solar Park

Located in Cestas, to the south of Bordeaux, it spans 260 hectares (640 acres) and produces 300 MWp.

Twenty-five 12 MWp power stations are linked together and hooked up to the RTE high voltage electricity transmission network.

The park's average surface power density is approximately 15 W per square metre, compared to 3–8 W recorded elsewhere in metropolitan France (Losse, la Colle des Mées, Toul-Rosières, etc.).

Supply to French electricity provider EDF was set at €105 per MWh for a period of 20 years – cheaper than the production of the planned European Pressurized nuclear Reactors (EPR) .

The project delivered significant numbers of construction jobs -up to 250 workers at peak activity.
