Vinci SA (DG.FR) said on Monday that Vinci Energies, via its Omexom brand, has been awarded a 26.8 million euros ($31.6 million) contract to build eight photovoltaic power plants in Senegal.

The contract was awarded by Societe d'Electricite du Senegal, or Senelec, and was financed by the German bank KFW and Senelec. Vinci Energies will have 10 months to complete the project, with handover scheduled for July 2018.

The company says that the plants will have a combined capacity of 17 megawatts and will generate enough power to cover the annual needs of 140,000 people.

Engie announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire the entire capital of Fenix ​​International, an innovative renewable energy company that offers domestic solar power systems in Africa.

Founded in 2009, Fenix ​​employs 350 people and carries out most of its activities in Uganda, where it is the main player in the domestic solar installation market with more than 140,000 customers. Fenix ​​has recently expanded its operations in Zambia and is also planning new deployments in other African countries.

Its flagship product, ReadyPay Power, provides lighting, charging phones and powering televisions and radios.

This investment will contribute to Engie's goal of enabling 20 million people worldwide to access decarbonized and decentralized energy by 2020, using the latest digital technologies.

Geneva’s Cointrin airport is to install solar panels across 50,000m2 of roof space in a new project announced by officials on Thursday.
Around a dozen roofs on airport buildings have been marked out for solar panels, the airport’s director André Schneider told the press.

Together, the proposed surface area is the equivalent of eight football pitches. The energy produced would be enough power 2,500 households for a year, though it will actually be used within the airport itself, said news agency ATS.

Cointrin already has solar panels covering 10,000m2, producing one gigawatt hour of energy a year.

The first of the new panels will appear in 2020-21 on the roof of a new airport building.

The airport is collaborating with Geneva’s industrial services department (SIG) on the project. SIG will cover the estimated 12-13 million franc costs and own the solar cells for a 25-year period.

Solar energy is an important part of Switzerland’s gradual shift away from nuclear power and towards renewable energy.

In May the country voted in support of the government’s energy strategy 2050, which will gradually decommission the country’s nuclear reactors and ramp up hydropower – historically, Switzerland’s most important source of renewable energy – as well as other renewables including solar, wind and geothermal.

The strategy will also focus on increasing energy efficiency by offering tax incentives and tightening emissions rules.

According to the Swiss energy office, by 2050 it should be possible to produce around 20 percent of Switzerland’s electricity needs through solar power.

(CercleFinance.com) - Total Solar, in partnership with Groupe Carré, has won 70 projects with a total capacity of more than 32 MW, representing 22% of capacity.

Total continues to contribute actively to the development of solar energy in France through its subsidiaries Total Solar, project developer, and SunPower, a supplier of solar panels.

This success completes the results obtained in previous calls for tenders, in particular for self-consumption and large shade projects. Photovoltaic on building seems particularly relevant to the development of solar energy in France: rapid deployment, preservation of land surfaces and decentralized and self-consuming electrical production, 'underlines Julien Pouget, director Renewables.

On September 19, Total signed an agreement to acquire an indirect 23% stake in EREN Renewable Energy (EREN RE), which develops solar power plants in emerging countries, where electricity needs are increasing.

(Boursier.com) - The largest solar park in France will be inaugurated today by Solairedirect, a subsidiary of Engie. An official ceremony that takes place several weeks after the production of the park located in the Alpes de Haute Provence near Gréoux-les-Bains. The plant has a capacity of 128 GWh per year (82 MW of installed capacity), thanks to 300,000 solar panels and 50 transformer stations on the two sites, Vallongue (88,5 hectares) and Coteau de Rousset ( 92.7 hectares). Engie currently has 900 MW installed solar capacity and plans to increase the total to 2,200 MW by 2021.

Former Vice President Al Gore: Investors can lead climate change battle

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore said investors could be a linchpin in leading progress against climate change
Gore pointed to "really significant" cost reductions for climate-saving technologies, such as solar, wind, batteries and electric vehicles

Former Vice President Al Gore pointed to investors, instead of governments, as a linchpin in leading progress on fighting climate change.

"Governments can be very fickle," Gore, who narrowly lost his bid to become U.S. president in 2001, said at the Milken Institute's Women Leaders' Summit in Singapore on Wednesday. "But once there is a big shift in the investment marketplace, then that generates a momentum that's really unstoppable."

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris agreement, an international accord aimed at reducing the impact of climate change, despite the objections of many large corporations.

But Gore said the role of investors has become more important as climate change worsens. He pointed to recent extreme weather events, including Hurricanes Harvey and Irma as well as devastating flooding in Bangladesh, India and Nepal.

"This community [of investors] can avoid an avoidable risk and seize the greatest opportunities in the history of business and commerce by looking clearly at the new reality we face and deploying assets accordingly," Gore said.

He highlighted the "really significant" cost reductions for climate-saving technologies, such as solar, wind, batteries and electric vehicles, and noted that the fastest-growing profession is windmill technician.

The rise in global sea levels has accelerated since the 1990s amid increasing temperatures, with a thaw of Greenland's ice sheet pouring ever more water into the oceans, a team of international scientists reported in July.

In the U.S., the cost of climate change is expected to be steep. A Science study estimates that every one degree Celsius increase in global mean temperature will cost the U.S. 1.2 percent of its economic growth. Separately, a recent assessment by Lloyds estimated that flooding ranked high among the top five risks to global economic growth, and could cost upwards of $430 billion.

But Gore added that technological advances were providing solutions to slow climate change, noting that was one of the reasons for the recent release of his new documentary, "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power," the follow-up to his 2006 Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."

Gore noted, however, that lobbying interests could intervene.

"The legacy power of fossil fuel companies in many countries is such that they still have the ability to slow down this transition," he said.

"But investors who can adopt a clearer view of where we're going in the future have the opportunity and, I would argue, the obligation to their asset owners and their clients to really advocate for a clear-eyed view of where we should be going instead of surrendering to the narrow interests that some of these lobbying communities are pursuing."
