SMART LIGHTING with CITELUM

Citelum is EDF subsidiary specialised in lighting and connected services, creating a smart, attractive and sustainable world of light.

New lighting technologies allow for energy savings and smart remote control; they improve safety and enhance architectural heritage. Today lighting devices go beyond the status quo. As existing infrastructures, they can also be connected and used to fight against pollution, including video surveillance systems, helping to control urban mobility or parking.

Saint-Brieuc: Iberdrola's first large-scale offshore wind power project in Brittany

Brittany is prone to strong winds and high tides, which have shaped the region's landscape, economy and way of life. With a view to leveraging the region's full energy potential, the company designed the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm: the first large-scale offshore wind farm in Brittany and one of the first in France to obtain all the necessary government permits for its construction and operation.

With an investment of 2.4 billion euros it is estimated that, once commercialisation begins in 2023, it will produce 1,820 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year, which will supply energy to 835,000 people.

 

 

Enel Green Power - Partanna Wind Farm, Italy

The facility, which is located in Contrada Magaggiari, in the province of Trapani, Sicily, is the first of five new projects of Enel Green Power aimed at increasing Italy's renewable energy capacity.

It consists of six 2.4 MW wind turbines, providing a total capacity of 14.4 MW. The facility will produce around 40 GWh of renewable energy each year, equivalent to the supply consumed by approximately 10,000 Italian families, reducing CO₂ emissions by around 33,000 tons per year. 

 

 

 

RESPONSE H2020 (Dijon, FRANCE)

The European RESPONSE project was the only "H2020 -Smart Cities and Communities" project selected by Europe in 2020.

With 53 partners from all over the European Union (19 of which are in the Dijon eco-system), RESPONSE is a flagship European project that is part of the European Union's strategy to meet the challenge of climate change: in concrete terms, EDF teams coordinated by Eifer will take part in the largest collective self-consumption operation in France.

 

 

 

Wallbox joins forces with Iberdrola for 100 % renewable energy consumption in its new factory and offices in Barcelona

Wallbox signs a long-term on-site power purchase agreement (PPA), which will allow it to produce, consume and reuse renewable energy with photovoltaic panels.

The green production generated - 1,500 MWh/year, equivalent to the consumption of 500 homes - and the development of a new generation of nZEB buildings make its new plant a pioneer in achieving almost zero energy consumption.

 

 

Tâmega: one of the largest hydroelectric projects developed in Europe in the last 25 years

Iberdrola adds two wind farms to the Tâmega hydroelectric complex, one of Europe's largest energy storage facilities that is located in Northern Portugal, making it one of the country's most significant energy initiatives ever.

The giga-battery, which involves the investment of more than 1.5 billion euros, will entail the construction of three dams and three power plants (Gouvães, Daivões y Alto Tâmega) with an overall capacity of 1,158 MW. The wind farms will have a capacity of 300 MW.

 

 

Breathtaking Storage among the Mountains

After more than 20 years of investing in renewables, innovation in sustainability is at the core of Iberdrola’s DNA. Its pumped storage hydropower facility at Cortes La Muela, in the mountains near Valencia, stores energy on a vast scale. And Iberdrola’s customers are adopting sustainable practices: smart vehicles, smart solar and smart ways to know how much they’re using, spending and saving.

 

 

 

A Floating Photovoltaic Facility in the Hautes-Alpes Department

Floating solar is an alternative to the lack of land space capable of accommodating large-scale solar power plants on the ground or on roofs, floating solar energy installed on unused water bodies (quarry lakes, irrigation ponds, dam reservoirs, etc.) is a promising avenue to explore for the photovoltaic industry.

EDF Renewables is currently managing a floating solar power plant project on the reservoir of the Lazer hydroelectric plant in Hautes-Alpes. With an installed capacity of 19.82 MWp, the plant will cover two-thirds of the reservoir's surface area.

 

 

 

 

DREEV

With Dreev, EDF is deploying its first V2G reversible charging points. A first in France: the company Hotravail, in Gironde, is hosting three charging points for electric vehicles, which can also supply the network if necessary.

The principle is to charge the vehicle's battery when there is little demand and energy is therefore abundant and inexpensive, then in the evening, at the peak of consumption, when energy is more expensive, the electricity stored in the battery is re-injected into the network instead of increasing production

Enel X – E-bus service in Savona, Italy

For three days, from 16 to 18 July 2020, residents and tourists in Savona, Italy, were able to experience for themselves, free of charge, the comfort of sustainable public transport on board an IVECO BUS e-Way adorned with the purple logo of Enel X. The trial came about as part of the wider project to foster the transition towards electric public transport in our towns and cities, and promote the innovation developed by the Italian e-mobility sector.

The initiative, which is supported by Savona’s Municipal Council and promoted by Enel X, IVECO BUS and the local public transport company TPL Linea, with the collaboration of Savona Campus - University of Genoa, is part of the pathway leading Italy’s urban centres towards a more sustainable future and the goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda, in which we are on the frontline in the promotion of electric mobility in both the private and public sectors.
