Developed and built by Velocita Energies, the French subsidiary of Envision Group, the "Vannier-Amance" wind farm will produce 111 GWh per year and supply 52,000 people with renewable energy. The wind farm will be powered by 17 Envision EN131-2.5MW wind turbines, which are ideally suited to the region's wind conditions. Currently under construction, this 43 MW project is expected to be commissioned in the spring of 2022.
This second Envision wind farm will follow in footsteps of the "Entre Tille et Venelle" wind farm, a 40 MW project in the Burgundy-Franche-Comte region, which also utilizes Envision's EN131-2.5MW wind turbines and was also acquired by TRIG.
The sale of "Vannier-Amance" was carried out through a call for tenders operated by Envinergy, a consultancy firm specializing in the intermediation of renewable energy projects. The project was financed by both French and European banks via non-recourse financing.
