ABO Energy GmbH has completed the sale of the Bonny sur Loire solar Agri-PV project in France to CVE Group, alongside two additional projects, Presnoy and Nargis, taking total capacity sold to 85 MWp.

The flagship asset, Bonny sur Loire (43.68 MWp), is located in the Loiret region and structured as an agrivoltaic development combining solar generation with sheep farming across 48 hectares. The project is scheduled for commissioning in 2029 and is backed by a public Contract for Difference (CfD).

The key insight is timing. This portfolio was sold several years ahead of COD, yet still secured a buyer. That only works because the revenue profile is already de-risked. The CfD locks price exposure, while permitting, land use, and agricultural integration risks are largely resolved.

Commercially, this shows buyers in France are underwriting execution-ready structures, not near-term cash flow. CVE is acquiring long-dated, contracted volume with visibility on grid connection and operating model, while avoiding development drag.

For ABO Energy, this is balance sheet recycling. Cash inflows are spread across 2024–2027, allowing capital to be redeployed while retaining value from a mature pipeline.

The signal is clear: in France, CfD-backed Agri-PV at advanced development is now fully bankable M&A inventory, even with CODs pushed to the end of the decade.
