French renewables company Qair Group is set to supply clean energy to global retail group Carrefour from a large-scale solar plant in Italy. The 52 MWp solar PV plant in Italy’s Latium region was developed by Qair and is slated to come online by 2026. The offtake agreement will help Carrefour on its journey to slashing its emissions by 50% by 2030 and to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources, in addition to a broader target to achieve carbon neutrality across the group by 2040. “Through this partnership with Qair, we confirm Carrefour’s commitment in developing sustainable solutions aimed at reducing our environmental footprint,” said Jean-Francois Dohogne, Chief Financial Officer at Carrefour Italia. “This contract will allow Carrefour Italy to count on around 75 GWh of renewable energy per year, the equivalent of powering 30 of its hypermarkets, in line with our ‘Benefit Corporation’ status and the specific goal of reducing our environmental impact.” Emmanuel Maqueron, CEO of Qair Italy, added: “We are delighted that our local and impactful solar project will contribute to the decarbonisation efforts of a group such as Carrefour. “The trust Carrefour has placed in us reaffirms Qair’s robust strategy in Italy. I thank the teams for their strong commitment, and eagerly anticipate seeing the first panels installed. Together, we are making significant strides in the energy transition.” #cleanenergy
