Energies de Loire

Energies de Loire focuses on the construction and operation of photovoltaic power plants, offering innovative solar energy solutions to diverse sectors such as agriculture, industry, and local communities in France. Founded in 2018, Energies de Loire specializes in photovoltaic solutions. The company has executed a single deal and recently attracted funding through a Growth round. Energies de Loire is based in France, focusing its efforts primarily on the Pays de la Loire and Brittany regions.

The company was founded by a team with experience in renewable energy solutions, although specific details on prior ventures are not available. Their most recent funding round occurred on January 9, 2025, raising EUR 15 million from ISALT, marking the total amount raised at EUR 15 million. Energies de Loire specializes in the construction and operation of photovoltaic power plants tailored for various sectors, including agriculture, artisanry, industry, and local communities. Their primary offerings include comprehensive solutions for photovoltaic installations that cater to the specific operational needs of their clients.

The company focuses on providing accessible and straightforward photovoltaic building solutions, enabling customers to generate solar energy efficiently. Energies de Loire serves a diverse clientele predominantly within the Pays de la Loire and Brittany regions of France, addressing energy needs for farmers, artisans, industrial businesses, and local governmental bodies. The products are designed to enhance energy independence, reduce electricity costs, and contribute positively to the regional energy transition. Energies de Loire generates revenue through two distinct financing models: the Client Hébergeur (Host Client) and Client Investisseur (Investor Client) structures.

Under the Host Client model, the company invests in photovoltaic systems and pays clients rent or covers part of the building costs, providing a supplementary income stream for clients without upfront capital requirements. Conversely, in the Investor Client model, clients finance their solar projects and receive additional income from selling generated electricity over a 20-year period, while also benefiting from reduced electricity bills. This dual approach allows Energies de Loire to engage in both B2B and direct-to-consumer transactions, fostering long-term relationships with clients who invest in their energy solutions. The company's offerings are designed to deliver financial benefits and support sustainable energy practices within the local communities they serve.

Energies de Loire plans to utilize the recent EUR 15 million investment from ISALT to accelerate its growth strategy. The company aims to design and launch new photovoltaic products tailored to meet the evolving needs of its clients. Additionally, Energies de Loire is targeting expansion into new regions beyond Pays de la Loire and Brittany by 2026, broadening its service area across France. The funding will support these initiatives, enhancing the company's ability to develop innovative solutions and reach a wider market.
