Our international presence, meaningful projects

Supporting energy production in overseas territories

Supporting energy production in overseas territories

Historically, the Volta group has developed strong expertise in photovoltaic projects in non-interconnected zones (ZNI), with a particular focus on assets with storage. Volta operates several storage power plants, notably in Mayotte and Corsica. This high-value market segment offers both environmental and economic benefits: these projects enable decarbonized energy production and contribute to the energy independence of the territories, where they replace costly thermal electric generators with a high carbon footprint.

Decarbonization in Poland

Decarbonization in Poland

Since 2021, Volta has been present in Poland to contribute to the energy transition of a country whose electricity production is the most carbon-intensive in Europe. Our subsidiary, Volta Polska, focuses on ground-mounted and rooftop photovoltaic projects as well as wind energy projects.

Since 2021, the group has developed a partnership with Gaia, through which it develops, finances, and constructs a portfolio of several hundred MW of projects, each with a capacity of 40kWp, on schools. Through this ambitious partnership, Volta contributes to strengthening the energy independence of this territory by participating in the creation of numerous jobs and providing economic benefits to the school system.
