The project, led by the Solges Energy Group, involves the purchase of land on a historic industrial brownfield site to build a ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant, located in the Oise department (60). This project contributes to the ecological transition in two ways: by rehabilitating a polluted industrial brownfield and by producing local green energy on land that has already been developed by human activity.
The Solges Energy Group is seeking to raise a target amount of €2 million through this operation. The funds raised will be used exclusively to finance the acquisition of the land which will be leased:
➡️ for the operation of an already developed photovoltaic park, ➡️ the revaluation of the rest of the land via other SPVs.
The 34.4 MW solar project, led by one of the future tenants, is currently in an advanced stage of development with a building permit obtained and free of any appeals.

OBJECTIVE
This €2,000,000 fundraising campaign aims to finance the acquisition of land located in the Oise (60) region, intended for remediation through several projects.
USE OF FUNDS
The funds raised will be made available to the dedicated land company, Solges F01, a subsidiary of the Solges Energy Group. They will be used exclusively to pay the purchase price of the land (site of the former chemical plants), the sale of which has been authorized by court order and several signed agreements. This transaction definitively secures the land for the project, a key step before construction can begin.
REFUND
The financial exit will be secured through long-term bank refinancing of the project (establishment of senior debt once the project is ready for construction or operational). A total or partial sale of the project to a third-party investor constitutes an alternative exit strategy.
SAFETY
Enerfip has obtained for its investor base a first-ranking lien on 100% of the securities of the issuing company (Solges F01), which owns the land.

The project
Securing land for a solar power plant under development in the Oise region
A rare opportunity to finance the acquisition of a tangible asset supporting the energy transition. With the NOVA FRICHE project, you enable the Solges Energy Group to become the owner of a 28-hectare brownfield site, already authorized to host a large-scale solar power plant.
A key step: Acquiring the land before construction
It is important to fully understand the purpose of your investment. This €2 million fundraising campaign is not intended to finance the purchase of solar panels or grid connection work immediately. It is a preliminary step to finance the land acquisition. The funds raised will finance the land acquisition and allow Groupe Solges Energy to officially become the owner of the land located in the Oise department (60). Once the acquisition is complete, the land will be leased to several special purpose vehicles (SPVs) through long-term leases (the first of which has already been signed for 30 years), thus ensuring the site's availability for future projects.
Land valued by a mature project
Why finance the purchase of these specific plots of land? Because it's no longer simply a vacant lot, but a "ready-to-use" site whose value has been significantly increased by the development work already completed for an initial project. The site has, in fact, a first building permit, granted and free of any appeals, for a 34.4 MWp photovoltaic power plant. By financing this acquisition, you are financing land that embodies the value of the lease payments from this first project: a future photovoltaic power plant capable of producing the equivalent of the consumption of 7,000 households, while simultaneously rehabilitating a historic industrial site.
Project owners
Independent operator of decarbonized energy production
The SOLGES ENERGY GROUP is an independent French operator of decarbonized energy production via innovative renewable energy infrastructures, controlling the entire value chain (design, development, financing, construction, operation and maintenance).
The SOLGES ENERGY GROUP was born from experienced entrepreneurs convinced of the need for the energy and ecological transition, who set themselves the objective of developing and implementing innovative approaches for the production of renewable energies internationally, adapted to the needs of stakeholders in the territories and with respect for the environment.
In 2021, to accelerate the growth of SOLGES ENERGY , currently an asset management company and subsidiary of the SOLGES ENERGY GROUP, and to secure the development of its first 105 MWp portfolio, the company opened a portion of its capital to the French investment fund RGREEN INVEST, which specializes in financing green infrastructure. With over €2.9 billion in assets under management, RGREEN INVEST has financed the equivalent of 4.7 GW of green infrastructure.
In 2023, the company evolved by founding the SOLGES ENERGY GROUP , with the aim of managing the development, construction, and operation of a portfolio of over 1 GW of multi-asset infrastructure in France and internationally, encompassing photovoltaic power generation, green hydrogen, and stationary battery storage. This evolution allows the company to have a structured business unit with strategic partnerships across the three decarbonized technologies.
GROUPE SOLGES ENERGY has based its strategy on three pillars, stemming from the expertise of its founders: photovoltaics, the redevelopment of industrial wastelands and polluted sites, and technological innovation (deeptech).
Photovoltaics
With its nearly 20 years of expertise in photovoltaics, GROUPE SOLGES ENERGY is currently developing a portfolio of more than 800 MWp of solar power plants at various stages of maturity in France and internationally.
With its strategic partnerships, the company is planning for the development and operation of a 1 GWp park by Horizon 2032.
The Redevelopment of Industrial Brownfield Sites - Polluted Sites
Climate change and the extinction of biodiversity represent challenges that we must address pragmatically.
Based on its expertise, GROUPE SOLGES ENERGY has implemented a methodology for redeveloping industrial brownfields and polluted sites by giving them a second life through green energy production infrastructure.
GROUPE SOLGES ENERGY can transform acquired sites into fabulous laboratories inspired by new forms of resilience, and thus showcase possible best practices in the wake of industrial activities.
By cooperating with local stakeholders, we are developing a dynamic around the site focused on ecological and social issues, and the production of decarbonized energy, anchored in the long term.
DEEPTECH, Innovation at the heart of our activities
The energy transition will occur through a significant increase in electricity production from wind turbines and photovoltaic power plants. These two technologies are dependent on weather conditions and therefore produce variable and uncontrollable energy. This could lead to a mismatch between electricity production and demand.
Therefore, with the massive penetration of renewable energies, new flexibility needs are emerging on the electrical system.
To meet these flexibility needs, GROUPE SOLGES ENERGY is developing an Energy Management System (EMS), financed in partnership with BPI France.
GROUPE SOLGÉS ENERGY develops hybrid photovoltaic power plants that can be controlled by its EMS for the integration of variable renewables into the grid, deploying innovative stationary storage solutions during the construction of its photovoltaic power plants, through battery storage or hydrogen production by electrolysis.
In December 2022, thanks to its academic and scientific partnerships, GROUPE SOLGES ENERGY was a winner of the FASEP call for projects – “ Innovative and sustainable solutions for energy autonomy ”.
