The French solar project developer Green Lighthouse Développement has received the French government’s approval for its 450 MW Terr’Arbouts agrivoltaic project in Landes (Southern France). The project should cover 46 agricultural blocks, representing a combined area of about 7 km2, where 2 km2 of panels are planned to be installed. The project’s 450 MW of installed capacity are expected to contribute to generate about 650 GWh/year, enough to power 140,000 households, once it becomes operational by 2028.
The Terr’Arbouts agrivoltaic project was voluntarily launched in 2020 by a group of 35 farmers, aiming to diversify their crops and change their practices in order to act concretely and sustainably on the quality of their territory's water resources.
At the end of 2023, France had a total installed capacity of 149.3 GW, of which 19 GW came from solar (11%).
