The official inauguration of the Hélios solar park in Jemeppe-sur-Sambre took place on 26/09/2024. The facility was commissioned on 04/09/2024, a symbolic date as it marks the start of construction exactly one year earlier.

The sun may not have blessed us with its presence, but we were fortunate to have Sophie Wilmès, Vice-President of the European Parliament, Cécile Neven, Walloon Minister for Energy and the Air-Climate Plan, Denis Mathen, Governor of the Province of Namur, and the CEOs of INEOS INOVYN and Perpetum Energy, Geir Tuft and Luc Leenknegt.

The Hélios solar park project will provide 60MW of renewable electricity and reduce emissions by 14,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
