Neoen has secured two 20-year contracts from the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) for two new solar farms of 318 MWp (250 MWac) combined capacity in Ontario. The contracts cover 100 per cent of the new plants’ output. The projects include a 253 MWp solar farm near Dunns Valley and a 65 MWp solar farm near Paradis Bay. The combined generation from these projects is expected to reach approximately 475 GWh on an annual basis, powering over 50,000 homes in Ontario.
The Dunns Valley project features 50 per cent equity partnership with Garden River First Nation while the Paradis Bay project features 50 per cent equity partnership with Matachewan First Nation. Construction for both the projects is slated for 2028, with operations beginning in 2029 for the Paradis Bay project and 2030 for the Dunns Valley project. With these projects, Neoen’s secured solar and battery storage portfolio in Canada now totals 968 MW.
In February 2026, Neoen initiated construction of three new solar farms in France with a combined capacity of 230 MWp, all scheduled to become operational by 2028. The projects include the Le Couret agrisolar project with a capacity of 147 MWp in the Haute-Vienne department, along with the Isle-sur-Marne solar farm of 48 MWp and the Matignicourt floating solar farm of 35 MWp both located in the La Marne department.
