Boralex Inc. and Saint-Gobain have signed a 20-year renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) in France, covering three power plants that will supply renewable electricity to Saint-Gobain’s industrial sites.
The agreement includes two solar parks and one wind farm, set to commence operations between Q1 2026 and Q1 2027.
