The photovoltaic park of Bissey-sous-Cruchaud, in Saône-et-Loire, is evolving with the entry of SEM Saône-et-Loire Energies Renouvelables and the Sud Côte Chalonnaise Community of Municipalities into its shareholding. Developed by CVE and supported by Énergie Partagée since 2018, this project is a fine example of local collaboration for renewable energy.
Thanks to shared governance and citizen involvement, Énergie Partagée has sold part of its shares to allow local actors to play a stronger role in the energy transition. A virtuous model empowering territories in green electricity production and boosting energy independence. 🌍🔋
📊 Key figures:
🔸 5.5 MWp installed capacity
🔸 6.45 GWh produced annually—enough for nearly 3,000 residents
🔸 30-year power purchase agreement with Enercoop
This project shows how citizen and local investment can accelerate the energy transition and strengthen regional energy autonomy.
This week, Adrien LONG explores the fascinating topic of rooftop extensions. A key urban issue, this solution enables new spaces to be created without further land sealing, while respecting the existing aesthetic and heritage.
Visionary architect Maud Caubet, founder of Maud Caubet Architectes, continues to redefine urban architecture through bold and purposeful projects. Her latest work, the rehabilitation of the Racine Tower in Paris’ 12th arrondissement, showcases a design approach rooted in reuse—enriched by poetry, performance, and the nurturing presence of nature.
💡 A reversible design philosophy
For the Racine Tower, Maud Caubet applies her firm’s long-term design approach, based on reversibility. By anticipating future needs, the iconic 1970s building is transformed into a versatile, future-proof space.
🍃 Material-sensitive architecture
She integrates bio-sourced materials and reintroduces greenery at the heart of urban projects for what she calls “joyful and caring architecture.” At Racine, plants take over the street level and tower base, extend to productive rooftop uses, and feature an agricultural greenhouse beneath a new bioclimatic crown.
🌍 Commitment to the common good
Far from fleeting trends, Maud Caubet creates lasting, ecological, and socially-minded spaces. “An architect creates poetic spaces and acts politically by serving the public interest,” she affirms.
