Enerlis headquarters switches to collective solar self-consumption. The company is setting up the first photovoltaic solar power plant of this type in the West of Ile-de-France, and second in Ile-de-France, on the roof of its headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt.
Commissioned in March 2021, this photovoltaic installation for collective self-consumption allows the company Enerlis and other companies housed in the same building to benefit from green and renewable electricity produced locally.
The solar power plant has a power of 35 kWp and is made up of 103 modules totaling a surface area of 175m2. It will cover 37% of the needs of the company Enerlis and its two co-contractors.
This collective self-consumption operation is made possible by the law of February 24, 2017 and its implementing decree of April 28, 2017. It allows several consumers and producers to link together within a legal entity to collectively self-consume electricity generated by distributing the production of renewable electricity downstream of the same public electricity distribution station.
The group is developing its expertise in the implementation of collective self-consumption photovoltaic projects and thus demonstrating its ability to support the development of its clients' projects. For itself as for its customers, the Enerlis group pursues the dual ambition of reducing its environmental footprint and achieving carbon neutrality.
To carry out this project, the Enerlis group has significant internal resources and skills: a team of 9 engineers and technicians specializing in renewable energy and solar. The group also relied on the expertise of Enedis. The company which manages 95% of the public electricity distribution network in France advised and supported Enerlis from the origin of the project until the commissioning of the photovoltaic installation. Thanks to the smart meter deployed by Enedis, the Enerlis group can know precisely the electricity consumed and that reinjected into the network.
Aurélie Gaudillère, President of the Enerlis group, declares: “This installation illustrates Enerlis’ strong commitment to the energy transition. It demonstrates that collective solar self-consumption is a model that works. We are certain that this pilot site will make it possible to raise awareness among players in the tertiary sector, communities, manufacturers and social landlords of the advantages of this solution, throughout France. »
