(AOF) – Vergnet announces that several of its projects have accelerated. Like the recent commissioning of the wind power plant in Barbados, the 3R plan continues its momentum with the acceleration in recent weeks of several group projects around the world. This is the case of two photovoltaic power plants commissioned in New Caledonia. The first plant follows a call for tenders launched by the municipality of Nouméa in November 2021 for the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Aquatic Center of Nouméa.
The total power of this plant is 154 kWp. The amount of this project is 148,000 euros.
The second plant, awarded following a call for tenders launched by the municipality of Poya in the north of New Caledonia in December 2021, concerns the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of 6 secondary schools. The total power of this plant is 92 kWp. The amount of this project is 103,000 euros.
For these two installations, the Vergnet teams took charge of the supply and installation of the structures, solar panels and inverters.
In addition, Vergnet made progress on the construction of the Agadez hybrid solar/diesel power plant in Niger This project, one of the largest hybrid photovoltaic projects in Africa, and particularly strategic for the Group, includes an EPC contract made up of 18.9 MWp of photovoltaic energy, 3 diesel generators of 2.6 MW and 11.5 MWh of storage, associated with a maintenance period of 2 years.
The first factory acceptances (FAT) of diesel generators and solar panels have been carried out in recent weeks. The first shipment took place at the beginning of December, it is the first of five batches of photovoltaic panels.
Other major shipments, including that of diesel generators, are already planned in the coming weeks for arrival on site in the first quarter of 2023.

Greater disparities between utilities
The World Energy Markets Observatory highlights a wide disparity in retail energy prices in Europe. Suffering from both the effect of the rise in wholesale prices and high volatility in selling prices to end consumers, the profitability of players is under pressure. While the sixteen largest European energy suppliers benefited last year from a significant increase in their turnover (+47% compared to 2020), their gross operating margin (Ebitda margin) , deteriorated from 20.2% to 19.6%. Those who had to resort to purchasing electricity on the market had to pay these additional volumes much more expensive than the level of sale prices already set and therefore saw their margins deteriorate.
Faced with the lower availability of its nuclear fleet, EDF, renationalised, should post an annual loss of 29 billion euros in 2022. Engie is doing better because it succeeded in reducing its imports of Russian gas in the first half while benefiting from high electricity prices and its increased exposure to renewable sources.
