Mint Energie

What Mint Energie does

Mint Énergie is a French green electricity and biogas supplier founded in April 2017 as a brand of Mint S.A. (formerly Budget Telecom), itself a subsidiary of the EODEN family group with 5,000+ shareholders. The company serves both residential customers (particuliers) via a self-serve digital platform and professional clients across TPE, PME, PMI, and Grands Comptes through a sales-led B2B motion, with offices in Montpellier and Lille. Core offerings include fixed-price, indexed, and 100% green electricity plans certified by Garanties d'Origine, three biogas contracts (1, 2, and 3-year terms) indexed to the PRG, and a dedicated Pro portal serving 5,000+ B2B customers.

The underlying technology stack combines Linky smart meter integration (via the Optimint product, which streams consumption telemetry every 5 seconds to a smartphone app), Voltalis smart heating control integration enabling up to 15% heating savings, and a carbon offset program (La Forêt Mint) operated with Reforest'Action that has planted 650,000+ trees. Since 2023, Mint has operated as a Responsable d'Équilibre, balancing its portfolio on the French grid. Adjacent sub-brands — Mint Mobile (telecom), Mint Solaire (solar panel installation), and Mint Market (smart home and energy product marketplace) — extend the platform into adjacent energy and telecom services.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based electricity and biogas supply contracts, with monetization from per-kWh consumption charges plus fixed subscription fees, hardware sales through Mint Solaire, and ancillary fees from the referral program (up to €40 per successful signup). FY2024 revenue was disclosed at €72.2M and 2025 energy delivery reached 350 GWh, a 33% year-over-year volume increase. The company holds Service France Garanti and Engagé RSE certifications and reports a 94% Trustpilot recommendation rate, anchoring a French, sustainability-positioned brand in the competitive French alt-supplier market.
