EDF Energies Nouvelles increases its photovoltaic panels order from First Solar 
EDF Energies Nouvelles and US company First Solar, which manufactures photovoltaic modules using thin-film technology, have signed a supplemental agreement to their July 2007 deal.
To support its expansion in solar energy, EDF Energies Nouvelles has increased its initial order of 230 MWp in photovoltaic panels from First Solar to 290 MWp, representing an additional 60 MWp.
The modules provided by First Solar will be used to build primarily ground-based photovoltaic plants in Europe and especially in France.
This additional order is consistent with EDF Energies Nouvelles’ policy of securing its supply of photovoltaic panels (430 MWp already secured between 2007 and 2012). It is intended to cover the acceleration in its expansion in solar energy.
The Group aims to build 400 MWp in photovoltaic power plants for its own account and for third parties by 2011.
