Albioma has been the leading producer of photovoltaic energy in Overseas France since 2006; the Group is rolling out this business in the Indian Ocean, and specifically Mayotte, a territory not connected to continental electricity networks.
Activities
In Mayotte, Albioma operates a photovoltaic fleet with an installed capacity of 15,3 MW.
All power plants are sited in locations free from conflicts of use, including the one above Mamoudzou market, which features 725 KW of solar panels, making it the Group’s most powerful rooftop plant. In keeping with the objectives defined in France’s multi-year energy plan, Albioma is contributing to the development of renewable energy in Mayotte, while also consolidating the Group’s status as a major stakeholder in the energy transition.
Albioma inaugurated in November 2022 a battery electricity storage project with a power of 7.4 MW and a capacity of 14.9 MWh won during the call for tenders organized by the CRE at the end of 2019. This innovative project provides the arbitration service for the network manager by withdrawing electricity, particularly during periods of strong sunshine, to reinject it later, during consumption peaks. It helps reduce CO2 emissions from the thermal park by 6,100 tonnes per year in Mayotte.
