This investment of 710 million euros is one of the projects to be announced by Emmanuel Macron on Monday May 15 at the Choose France summit in Versailles.
A photovoltaic plant will open in 2025 in Hambach, near Sarreguemines (Moselle) learned franceinfo Saturday May 13, from the LR deputy for the district, Vincent Seitlinger, confirming information from the JDD. By 2027, 1,700 jobs will be created there. This investment of 710 million euros is one of the projects to be announced by Emmanuel Macron on Monday May 15, during the Choose France summit.
The company Holosolis will be in charge of the construction of the site. It comes from the InnoEnergy group, which brings together several European partners with the aim “to accelerate the energy transition”. “The advantage of our industrial zone is what is already set up”, explain Vincent Seitlinger “Holosolis only has to build its factory”. The MP welcomes “very good news for employment”.
A failed first project
“This site allows us to go very quickly”, underlines the president of Holosis, Jan Jacob Booms-Wichers on franceinfo Monday, May 15 in the morning. Indeed, the Moselle has been preparing for this type of business for three years: a previous investor withdrew last December, when the industrial zone planned for this purpose had already been developed. The previous investor, the Indian Rec Solar, had withdrawn to focus on the Indian market. “We, on the other hand, are 100% dedicated to reindustrialising Europe and making ourselves energy independent”, assures Jan Jacob Boom-Wichers. Holosis souhaite “build photovoltaic panels in France, for France and for Europe”according to him.
“I confirm this investment of 710 million euros in Sarreguemines”, said Sunday May 14 on franceinfo the Minister Delegate for Industry Roland Lescure. “For years, we have subsidized photovoltaic panels that were made at the end of the world. From now on, we will have photovoltaic panels made in France”, he congratulated himself.
