The FSL Group specializes in the storage and transportation of frozen products. This family-owned small business, with locations in Brittany, the Île-de-France region, the Orléans area, and northern France, has been supporting major players in the food industry for nearly 40 years by providing them with customized industrial solutions.
Excellence, innovation, professionalism, agility, as well as sustainable development and quality of life at work, are at the heart of the company’s values. These values led its management to take the group’s commitment to the next level by signing a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Urbasolar in June 2023.
Thanks to this innovative and ambitious initiative, FSL will source green electricity at a competitive and controlled price for the next 15 years by purchasing energy produced by the Lombron (Sarthe) photovoltaic power plant, developed by the Urbasolar group and set to come online in May 2024.
Thus, the more than 5,150 MWh of renewable energy produced annually will be used to meet the SME’s energy needs.
“From our very first meeting with the Urbasolar team five years ago, we knew we wanted to work together. We share common values and a strong commitment to inspiring future generations to get involved in building a more responsible society, and to showing them that each of us, in our own way, can contribute to the deployment of renewable energy and the energy transition.
With this PPA, FSL is sending a strong message to the world of SMEs, telling them that it is possible to take on this challenge and that, by finding the right partners, solutions can be tailored to companies of all sizes. “From the very beginning of our relationship with Urbasolar, we found high-quality partners, genuine proximity, and long-term support, which made this PPA possible. More than just a business relationship, we have built a relationship of trust with the Urbasolar teams, in which we have been able to appreciate, at every stage, both the human and professional qualities of our contacts,” Gilles Fort, President of FSL
