Utility-scale Citizen Solar Park in Mallemort, France

Developed, financed, built, and operated by CVE, the Mallemort solar farm is located on a former landfill. The 2.6 MWp solar park will generate 4,150 MWh of electricity annually—equivalent to the consumption of approximately 3,600 residents per year (excluding heating and hot water).

Its shared governance makes this project exemplary. Ultimately, 35% of the capital will be held by public and citizens stakeholders, including the municipality of Mallemort and local citizens throughout a crowdfunding campaign. The citizen-led solar park represents a new generation of energy projects: locally rooted, governed collaboratively, and dedicated to advancing the energy transition and regional energy sovereignty.
