What Eolfi does

Eolfi SAS is a 100% French independent power producer (IPP) founded in 2004 that develops, finances, constructs, and operates onshore wind farms, ground-mounted solar photovoltaic plants, agrivoltaic installations, and floating photovoltaic projects across metropolitan France. Headquartered in Paris with regional offices in Nantes and Montpellier, the company has developed over 1 GW of wind capacity since inception and commissioned 140 MWc of solar capacity, with a current development pipeline of approximately 400 MW of wind and 300 MWc of solar (of which 200 MW wind is in advanced development). Its core technology consists of standard utility-scale turbines (Nordex N117) and conventional PV modules, with specialized know-how in agrivoltaic configurations that combine agricultural production with solar generation, and in floating PV on former quarries and irrigation reservoirs.

The company's business model combines long-term recurring PPA-backed revenue from retained operating assets (typically 20-year power purchase agreements) with project development fees during the build-out phase. Eolfi serves four primary customer segments: farmers and agricultural enterprises seeking agrivoltaic solutions for climate adaptation and income diversification; municipalities pursuing local energy-transition goals; industrial and brownfield landowners (e.g., former landfills, gravel pits) seeking land valorization; and local citizens who participate in project equity through repeated participatory financing campaigns (Eolfi Croissance 5.0 and project-specific vehicles) managed in partnership with Lumo Investissements, Enerfip, and Lendopolis. Major enterprise customers include Groupe SNCF (joint development at Beucher) and Innergex France (co-development at La Cense).

Eolfi operates as a subsidiary of Langa International, a French renewable electricity producer, having previously been owned by Veolia Environnement (2007–2013) and Shell (2019–2023) before regaining independence in December 2023. The company is a member of France Agrivoltaïsme, Enerplan, and France Renouvelables. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct landowner prospecting, municipal engagement, public consultation meetings, trade-show presence (e.g., Sommet de l'Élevage), and community events to originate projects that it then retains and operates long-term rather than selling.

Revenue model

1. Power Production and Sale: EOLFI operates as an Independent Power Producer (IPP), generating revenue through the sale of electricity produced by its wind and solar installations. Revenue is secured through 20-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) and corporate power purchase agreements (cPPAs), providing long-term contracted revenue streams.
2. Project Development Services: Development and construction of renewable energy projects (wind, solar, agrivoltaic) on behalf of and in partnership with landowners, municipalities, and agricultural stakeholders. Projects are developed through to commissioning and then often retained for operation.

Core offering

EOLFI develops, finances, constructs, and operates onshore wind farms and ground-mounted solar photovoltaic power plants across metropolitan France, with agrivoltaic and floating photovoltaic extensions. The company operates as an Independent Power Producer (IPP), retaining ownership of projects and selling electricity through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), while also running participatory financing campaigns to engage local citizen investors.

Product overview

EOLFI is a 100% French independent power producer (IPP) specializing in terrestrial renewable energy projects, offering three core product lines: onshore wind energy development (over 1 GW developed since 2004), ground-mounted solar photovoltaic installations (140 MWc commissioned), and agrivoltaic solutions. The company also offers floating photovoltaic technology for water bodies. Projects span from site identification and prospection through development, financing, construction, and long-term operation (20-35 years). The Eolfi Croissance 5.0 participatory financing product complements the core offerings by enabling local citizen investment in renewable projects. EOLFI operates as part of the LANGA INTERNATIONAL group with teams in Paris, Nantes, and Montpellier, covering all territories in France.

Products and services

• Terrestrial Wind Energy (Éolien terrestre) Full lifecycle development of onshore wind farms in France, including site selection, environmental studies, permitting, financing, construction supervision, and long-term operation under 20-year power purchase agreements. Projects typically feature 3-15 wind turbines with capacities up to 40 MW, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 25,000-30,000 households.
• Ground-Mounted Solar Photovoltaic (Solaire photovoltaïque) Development of ground-mounted solar photovoltaic power plants for landowners and operators, with focus on valorizing and rehabilitating industrial or agricultural land including former quarries, landfills, and degraded sites. 140 MWc has been commissioned and 300 MWc is in development.
• Agrivoltaic Solutions (Agrivoltaïsme) Agrivoltaic project development placing solar panels on agricultural land to support farming activities while generating renewable electricity. Solutions provide physical protection of crops from climate hazards, reduce soil water stress and animal thermal stress, and diversify farm income streams, with farmers positioned at the center of project design.
• Floating Photovoltaic (Photovoltaïque flottant) Floating solar power plant installations on water bodies such as industrial reservoirs, irrigation ponds, and former quarries, enabling rehabilitation and valorization of abandoned water bodies without land-use conflicts.
• Eolfi Croissance 5.0 Participatory financing platform enabling local residents and investors to fund EOLFI's renewable energy project development directly. Operated in tranches corresponding to specific project portfolios, with the fourth tranche financing six projects totaling 128 MW across France.

Direct peers

• Akuo Energy: Paris-based independent renewable IPP focused on wind, solar, storage and agrivoltaics with strong participatory financing heritage. Highly comparable GTM (community-owned models) and project development scope to EOLFI.
• Voltalia: French independent power producer developing, financing, building and operating wind, solar, hydro and biomass projects. Closely matches EOLFI's full-lifecycle onshore wind/solar IPP model in metropolitan France.
• Boralex: Canadian independent renewable IPP with significant French wind and solar operations. Overlaps with EOLFI as a foreign-affiliated French onshore IPP pursuing similar PPA-backed revenue structures.
• Innergex Renewable Energy: Quebec-based IPP that co-developed the La Cense wind farm with EOLFI. Comparable as a multi-technology (wind, solar, hydro) IPP active in France with similar long-term PPA economics.
• Neoen: French independent renewable IPP active in wind, solar and storage across France and internationally. Comparable in business model (greenfield development to long-term operation with PPAs) and customer profile (municipalities, corporates, grids).
• Photosol: Leading French independent solar PV developer and IPP, focusing on ground-mounted and agrivoltaic projects. Direct overlap with EOLFI's solar PV and agrivoltaic development activities in France.
• Qair: French independent renewable energy producer developing onshore wind, ground-mounted solar, agrivoltaics and floating PV. Direct overlap with EOLFI's product portfolio and French territory focus.

Broad incumbents

• Engie Green: Subsidiary of Engie developing onshore wind, solar PV and agrivoltaics in France. Larger incumbent in the same onshore renewables market with overlapping customer base (municipalities, landowners, farmers).
• EDF Renouvelables: French utility-owned renewable IPP with wind and solar development across France and globally. Competes for the same land, permits and PPAs but at much greater scale and balance sheet capacity.
• TotalEnergies Renewables: Major French incumbent developing onshore wind, solar and agrivoltaic projects. Same target market and regulatory framework, but with the resources of an integrated oil major.
