// HYDRO: VALEMO SIGNS AN OPERATION/MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR 14 HYDROPOWER PLANTS IN GUADELOUPE

Established in Guadeloupe since 2018 to ensure the maintenance of the Sainte-Rose wind farm (16 MW), VALEMO is pursuing its development strategy on the island, and more broadly in the West Indies, by signing a major operation and maintenance (O&M) contract in the small hydro sector.

Following the acquisition by the VALOREM Group of 51% of Force Hydraulique Antillaise SAS (FHA), the leading hydraulic developer in the French West Indies, VALEMO has just been entrusted with the O&M of a portfolio of around ten megawatts of assets associated with this acquisition. Under the terms of this contract, signed during summer 2020, VALEMO will notably guarantee its customer a rate of availability of the power plants.

The signing of this new long-term contract is an opportunity for VALEMO to strengthen its team in Guadeloupe with the recent arrival of two additional maintenance technicians, bringing the base’s workforce to 4 maintenance technicians and 1 technical support supervised by a Caribbean zone supervisor.

This portfolio of operating power plants is expected to grow rapidly with the arrival of more than 10 MW of new power plants in the coming years.

Proud of this success, the VALEMO team, which aims to continue to develop its multi ENR O&M activities (solar, hydro and wind) in the Caribbean, is at your disposal to assist you in your projects!
