Installation of our 1st ground-based photovoltaic power plant
In spring 2024, we commissioned a ground-based photovoltaic power plant at our Bruguières site in France. This is STEF's first ground-mounted installation, and it won't be the last!

By continuing to deploy our strategy of self-consumption of solar energy, we are confirming our ambitions in terms of energy transition. This will enable us to control and reduce the carbon impact of our activities. It also means securing energy supplies for our sites by stabilising part of their costs and reducing their dependence on the grid.

With this first ground-mounted plant, we are developing a model that combines energy transition and anticipation of the future for the STEF Group. This type of photovoltaic plant can be folded up and relocated if the site's activity needs to be extended (and land is therefore required), thanks to the perfect reversibility of the installation and a return to its initial state with no significant impact on the soil or vegetation (no foundations).
The deployment of ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants is part of our strategy to develop low-carbon energy sources within the STEF Group. It is also a further step towards increasingly efficient energy management.
