Dexia is diversifying its international interventions promoting sustainable development. Two contracts have recently been signed.

• The co-financing, to the tune of 34 million Canadian dollars, of a solar energy plant near Ottawa (Canada). This plant will provide enough electricity for 7,000 homes. Led in partnership with the group EDF Energies Nouvelles, this is the first operation of this type with Dexia as lead arranger in North America.
• The second contract relates to the creation of a second energy recovery line in Padua (Italy) which produces electricity from solid waste. In an amount of almost 30 million euros, this transaction is carried out with Acegas, one of principal Italian “multi-utility” companies.
