For this reason, pioneering large-scale solar power projects have been built in several locations in French Cerdagne, including Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via, the Themis plant near Targassonne, and Mont-Louis Solar Furnace in Mont-Louis.
A partnership company, Soitec, installed 30 CPV (concentrated PhotoVoltaic) systems in Themis solar power plant, located in Targassonne in the Pyrénées-Orientales department.
