250kWp | Flooding Resilience
In late January 2025, Storm Herminia brought record-breaking rainfall and severe flooding to Brittany, particularly affecting areas like Rennes, which experienced its worst flooding in over 40 years (source).
Despite these challenging conditions, HelioRec's 250kW floating solar power plant in Brittany continued to generate electricity without interruption.
HelioRec is highlited | World Business Council for Sustainable Development
The Climate Drive powered by WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development recently highlighted the incredible potential of floating solar power plant installations, and at HelioRec (source).
Floating solar is transforming the renewable energy landscape, making sustainable energy solutions more efficient, scalable, and eco-friendly. Here’s how HelioRec is turning this vision into reality: At the Port of Brest, we’ve installed our innovative floating solar system, designed to maximize clean energy production while optimizing water surface use.
