Opting for wind energy with EDF By joining forces, RATP Group and EDF are doing their part to develop the CO2-neutral energy sources of the future, while also contributing to better city living. At the end of the three-year electricity supply contract (2021-2023) signed between RATP Group and EDF, the energy company will have supplied 170 GWh of renewable electricity, which is generated by 5 wind farms spread out across the region. 170 GWh represents close to 4% of RATP’s electricity consumption, or the equivalent of the energy required to power 7 tram lines.
Urbasolar, a virtuous cycle The Urbasolar-RATP Group partnership, under which Urbasolar supplies the Group with low-carbon electricity, operates on the basis of additionality. The Group’s commitment to purchase low-carbon electricity over a 21-year period provides funding for the construction of solar farms that will produce that electricity. Over a year, the 55 hectares of solar farms spread out across the region will produce approximately 65 GWh of electricity. At the same time, they will avoid releasing 1,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) into the atmosphere
