ENGIE, NEOEN and the Banque des Territoires announce a new stage in development of the HORIZEO renewable energy project

HORIZEO is a large-scale renewable energy project located in Saucats in the Gironde, led by ENGIE, NEOEN and the Banque des Territoires. This innovative project combines a 1 GW photovoltaic farm, producing competitive green energy, with up-and-coming technologies, and will make a lasting contribution to the national and regional goals to accelerate the energy transition.

The public debate organised by the CNDP gathered comments and observations from the public, helping to focus the project owners’ thinking. ENGIE, NEOEN and the Banque des Territoires were attentive to all the topics raised during the debate, especially environmental, economic and societal issues and the management of the risks inherent in the project.

Given the climate emergency, the growing importance of France’s energy independence, the ambition of regional and national energy transition goals, and the lessons learnt from the public debate, the project owners have decided to continue development of the HORIZEO project, with several changes and new commitments.
