China General Nuclear Power Group, the country's biggest nuclear
power reactor operator, has outlined its plans to become the largest solar
energy distributor in France.
CGN will enter the French solar power sector through its subsidiary CGN
Europe Energy, and join hands with French solar energy company Inovia
Concept Development to build distributed solar energy generators across
France in the next few years.
The French side will be in charge of construction and maintenance of the
solar power facilities, according to ICD Chief Executive Johnny
Schlosmacher. According to him, the Chinese company bagged the project
despite competition from a Germany company.
6. "The cooperation has a significant meaning to Chinese enterprises and is
also a milestone for the China-France renewable energy partnership," said
Lu Wei, general manager of CGNEE.
"It will enable us to build power stations which will have installed capacity
of 500 megawatts of solar energy in the next few years and add as many
as 3,000 direct and indirect jobs in France," he said.
Lu explained that in the last 30 years, his company has established strong
ties with French companies for energy cooperation, especially nuclear
power plants.
"Our new goal is to make CGN a world-class energy group by developing
both renewable energy and nuclear power, and proactively participate in
international competition," said Lu.
CGN is the pioneer and a good example of China's State-owned
companies competing in the French market, Lu said. It has already
cooperated with French companies to develop the third party market, such
as in Africa.
This is not the first clean energy project that CGN is participating in Europe.
In 2014, its French unit signed a deal for an 80 percent stake in three wind
farms in Eastern England owned by French electric utility company
Electricite de France SA, which will generate 72 mW of power.
Earlier this year, in February, the company won the bid for the Fujin
Onshore Wind Power Project in France and completed an equity transfer
deal with Eolfi, a new-energy company from France.

Le chinois CGN investit
dans le solaire en FranceVERONIQUE LE BILLON / CHEF DE SERVICE ADJOINTE | LE 19/11 A 01:00
Le groupe nucléaire, qui a créé une filiale dédiée aux énergies
renouvelables en France, a signé mercredi un accord avec une
PME.
La Chine veut investir dans les énergies renouvelables en France. Mercredi, CGN Europe Energy
(CGNEE), une filiale du groupe nucléaire chinois CGN créée il y a dix-huit mois, a signé avec
ICD, une PME basée à Gradignan (Gironde), un « partenariat important portant sur le
développement de projets d'installation de centrales photovoltaïques » en France, selon le
communiqué publié.
L'objectif affiché est de développer et d'installer d'ici à cinq ans « plusieurs centaines de
mégawatts de projets ». A l'échelle européenne, CGNEE vise même 1 gigawatt de capacités de
production renouvelables, précisent deux sources au fait du dossier. CGNEE, qui apportera les
financements, devrait se centrer en priorité sur des centrales photovoltaïques sur des hangars
agricoles livrées clefs en main. En France, CGNEE indique avoir déjà fait l'acquisition, auprès
d'Eolfi, d'un portefeuille éolien d'environ 80 mégawatts, baptisé « Fujin ».
CGNEE, doté d'une trentaine de salariés basés à la Défense (Hauts-de-Seine) est à ce jour la
seule filiale de CGN dédiée aux énergies renouvelables et située hors de Chine. Mais en dépit de
son ADN nucléaire, CGN est également largement présent dans les énergies renouvelables en
Chine, avec 7 gigawatts de capacités installées dans l'éolien et 500 mégawatts dans le solaire,
selon Emma Xu, porte-parole de CGNEE.
Partenaire historique d'EDF
Le choix de la France pour installer sa filiale européenne ne relève pas du hasard. « Le marché
français est mature, avec peu de risques pays et un cadre régulatoire stable », salue Emma Xu.
Mais CGN est surtout un partenaire historique d'EDF dans le nucléaire. En Chine, les deux
groupes construisent 2 EPR à Taishan. Et CGN doit entrer à hauteur de 33,5 % dans le projet de
construction de 2 EPR en Grande-Bretagne, sur le site de Hinkley Point. EDF a d'ailleurs cédé fin
2014 à CGNEE 80 % de 3 parcs éoliens au Royaume-Uni pour un montant proche de
100 millions de livres, l'un de ses premiers investissements en Europe.

9. CGN investit dans l'énergie solaire en France
le Quotidien du Peuple en ligne | 20.11.2015 13h16
Le groupe de la China General Nuclear Power (CGN), le plus important fournisseur de
l'industrie nucléaire du pays, a fait part de ses plans pour devenir le plus grand distributeur
dans le domaine de l'énergie solaire en France.
La CGN va faire son entrée dans le secteur de l'énergie solaire à travers sa filiale française CGN
Energy Europe, et coopérer avec la société française d'énergie solaire Inovia Concept
Developpement (ICD) pour construire plusieurs générateurs d'énergie solaire à travers
l'hexagone au cours des prochaines années.
Le côté français sera en charge de la construction et l'entretien des installations, selon Johnny
Schlosmacher, directeur général d’ICD. La société chinoise aurait remporté l'appel d'offre,
malgré la concurrence d'une entreprise allemande.
10. "La coopération a une signification importante pour les entreprises chinoises et est également
une étape importante pour le partenariat de l'énergie renouvelable franco-chinois", a déclaré
Lu Wei, directeur général de la China General Nuclear Europe Energy (CGNEE).
"Cela permettra de construire dans les prochaines années des centrales qui auront une
puissance plus 500 mégawatts d'énergie solaire et de créer plus de 3000 emplois directs et
indirects en France", a-t-il souligné.
Lu a expliqué qu'au cours des 30 dernières années, son entreprise avait établi des liens étroits
avec des entreprises françaises sur le plan de la coopération énergétique, et des centrales
nucléaires en particulier.
"Notre objectif est de développer à la fois les énergies renouvelables et l'énergie nucléaire, et
ainsi participer activement à la concurrence internationale", a-t-il noté. Ajoutant que le groupe
CGN était un pionnier et un bel exemple pour les sociétés chinoises d'Etat en concurrence sur
le marché français. Ayant notamment collaboré avec plusieurs entreprises françaises pour
développer le marché de tiers, comme en Afrique.
En 2014, son unité française avait signé un accord pour une participation de 80% dans trois
parcs éoliens en Angleterre (est du pays) détenue par la société de services publics Electricité
de France SA, pouvant générer 72 mw de puissance.
Plus tôt cette année, au mois de février, la société a remporté la candidature pour le projet
d'énergie éolienne onshore de Fujin en France et réalisé un transfert de capitaux propres avec
Eolfi, nouvelle entreprise française indépendante, spécialiste de l'énergie éolienne.

Apple to invest in 3 PV power plants
12. Apple Inc is investing in three upcoming photovoltaic power stations in Inner Mongolia autonomous region, official
sources said on Thursday.
The United States tech giant will team up with a Chinese semiconductor company and another US photovoltaic
company for the project, according to an announcement from the Tianjin -based Zhonghuan Semiconductor Corp
, which is participating in the investment.
The three photovoltaic power stations in Wuchuan, Sunit and Saihan in Inner Mongolia will have capacity of 100
megawatts, 50 megawatts and 20 megawatts respectively, and are being set up with registered capital of 403
million yuan ( $63 million ), 181 million yuan and 75.3 million yuan .
Apple will account for 34.2 percent of the total investment in Wuchuan and for 40 percent in Sunit and Saihan.
Zhonghuan Semiconductor is the major shareholder in all the three power stations.
This is not the first time that Apple has invested in the Chinese photovoltaic industry. Along with US solar
manufacturer SunPower it has invested in two photovoltaic power stations with a total capacity of 40 mW in
Sichuan province.
The National Energy Bureau has set a 23.1 million kilowatt output target for the photovoltaic industry by the end of
this year.
The installed capacity of the photovoltaic industry in China by the end of the 13th Five Year Plan in 2020 is
expected to be around 150 million kilowatts.
"The huge growth potential in the Chinese photovoltaic industry has prompted Apple to invest in the sector. The
current projects are only the beginning of the company's endeavor in tapping the market," said Zhao Wenyu ,
head of the photovoltaic department at the China Renewable Energy Industry Association .
Lisa Jackson , Apple's vice-president of environment, policy and social initiatives, said that Apple's investment in
China's photovoltaic industry is far smaller than what it has invested in the same industry in the United States .
Apple's current engagement with China's clean energy industry has just started, she said.
