Paris’ solar-powered Olympic village to become collective self-consumption hub

Post-Games, EDF ENR's 15 solar plants on the athletes' village roofs will support collective self-consumption for future district residents.

EDF ENR, the winner of a tender launched by Solideo — the public entity behind the creation of France’s Olympic Village in Paris — has installed 15 PV arrays on the roofs of buildings currently occupied by athletes taking part in the Olympic Games.

Located in the Belvédères district, just outside the northern Paris suburbs of Saint-Ouen and Saint-Denis, the village buildings are fitted with panels manufactured by Photowatt, a subsidiary of EDF ENR. They provide a total output of 450 kWp, covering 20% of the district’s electricity needs. They have been integrated in a number of different ways: in shade structures to allow residents free access to the roof, by overlaying vegetation or, more traditionally, on concrete terraces.
