Partnership for solar installations at the Centre national de tir sportif (CNTS)

The partnership between the Fédération française de tir (FFTir), SEM Arec Centre Val de Loire, and CVE to develop solar installations at the Centre national de tir sportif (CNTS) represents a strategic move towards integrating renewable energy within national sporting infrastructure. The project encompasses a 25.3 MW solar park and 3.6 MW of parking canopies, totaling 28.9 MW of solar capacity. This initiative demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and potentially offers a revenue stream for the FFTir through land lease or power purchase agreements. While the financial details remain undisclosed, the collaboration between a national sporting federation, a regional energy company (SEM Arec Centre Val de Loire), and an independent renewable energy producer (CVE) highlights a growing trend of public-private partnerships in the renewable energy sector. The project's scale, particularly the 25.3 MW solar park, suggests a significant investment and a substantial contribution to France's renewable energy goals. The combination of ground-mounted and canopy-based solar installations also showcases a diversified approach to land use optimization.
