About storage

Voltalia is developing a new sector in its project portfolio: storage, which enables energy production to be optimised. Storage allows us to ensure continuity of supply in the event of a problem on the network, and more generally to improve the quality of service and integrate more intermittent renewable energies.

About hydro

Hydro Power in many countries remain the most competitive source of non-intermittent energy. Coupled with storage it can enable the integration of even cheaper sources of intermittent energy. 

Well-designed Hydro Power Project provide low level of CO₂ emissions, high energy efficiency and load factor, making this source of energy both competitive and reliable.

About biomass

Beyond its contribution to the development of renewable energies, biomass involves local players and therefore stimulates a territorial dynamic. For the territories where the subsidiary is developed, it presents many interests: energy, economic and, of course, environmental.

About technologies

In addition to its integrated approach, Voltalia has been producing green energy from solar, wind, hydraulic and biomass sources for 15 years, also combining storage solutions.   

This energy mix offers greater resource predictability thanks to the diversity of energy sources. Opting for an efficient energy mix means consuming differently with new thinking!
