Savo-Solar and newHeat SAS have signed a contract on the delivery of the largest solar thermal system in France. The contract value is over EUR 2 million and the delivery of the collector field is due to take place in summer 2018. The contract will take effect and project delivery will start after newHeat has received the final approvals and agreements. This is expected to happen latest by 30 April 2018.
The turnkey delivery covers the civil works, the collector field installed on a tracking system, piping, solar station including the heat exchanger, the control system and the heat delivery to the industrial process. Additionally, Savo-Solar has been awarded the operation & maintenance contract and will be responsible for the operation of the system. The solar thermal plant to be installed in Condat-sur-Vézère will be the largest one in France, with a collector area of over 4,000m2. This will also be the first flat plate collector field in the world installed on a one-axis tracking system. The customer, newHeat SAS, will use the solar thermal plant to supply and sell heat to an industrial site.
Savo-Solar was selected as the preferred bidder in a tender in June 2017, when the negotiations on the final contract started.
