Core offering

EkWateur supplies 100% renewable electricity (wind, solar, hydro, with French or European origin options) and renewable gas/biomethane (15% or 100% renewable) to residential and business customers across France under monthly subscriptions, with Guarantees of Origin certified by the CRE. The company also sells and installs solar panels and plug-and-play solar kits, Schneider home EV charging stations (IRVE-certified installation), Voltalis connected thermostats, and ecologically managed wood heating products. The B2B arm Ekwateur Pro provides fixed-price multi-year renewable electricity and gas contracts with multi-site management for artisans, SMEs, large enterprises and public-sector clients.

Product overview

EkWateur is a green energy supplier offering a portfolio of renewable energy products and services for both residential and business customers. The core offering consists of 100% renewable electricity (from wind, solar, and hydroelectric sources) and renewable gas/biomethane, available with French or European origin options. Supporting the energy transition, the portfolio includes solar panel installations (rooftop and plug-and-play kits), EV home charging stations (up to 10x faster than standard outlets), connected smart thermostats for electric radiators, and sustainable wood heating products (pellets, dry logs, compressed logs). The B2B division, Ekwateur Pro, provides similar renewable energy contracts tailored for professionals along with multi-site management capabilities, custom invoicing, and business-focused solar and EV charging solutions. The company positions itself as an alternative to traditional energy giants by focusing exclusively on energy supply without production activities to avoid conflicts of interest.
