What AUGIER Energy does

AUGIER Energy, operating through its legal entity AUGIER S.A.S., is a France-based industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in medium-voltage energy distribution and transport for distances ranging from 500 meters to 50 kilometers. Founded in 1954 in Carros (Nice Côte d'Azur), the company designs and manufactures proprietary hardware including HTI (Haute Tension Injectée) epoxy-encased transformers, watertight IP68 transformers, CEP19 contactor switch cells, COMPACTO static dimmer-regulators, DIAM4200 constant current regulators, PTC Shelter substations, and the AUGIER-BOX II connectivity module with integrated STEPIII G3-PLC power line communication. The company's technology architecture centers on transporting electrical energy at elevated medium voltages (950V to 6600V) to minimize cable cross-sections and infrastructure cost, with claimed 30% investment cost reduction versus conventional approaches and energy savings up to 40% through dimmer regulation.

AUGIER operates a custom-engineered, project-based business model: it sells hardware, turnkey engineered solutions, and mobile substation rentals primarily through direct enterprise sales targeting large infrastructure operators and contractors. End markets span airports, highways, railways, tunnels, bridges, ports, military sites, oil & gas facilities, power stations, and remote locations, with a customer base that includes EDF (30+ year nuclear maintenance relationship), SNCF, EIFFAGE, CLEMESSY, CEGELEC, and international airport and port authorities in the UAE, Malaysia, Ghana, Morocco, Algeria, and elsewhere. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year project contracts; no public price list is maintained.

The company is privately held as a subsidiary of the Italian industrial conglomerate Cocchi Technologies (14 companies, 800+ employees, sales in 100+ countries), having joined the group through OCEM's 2001 shareholder acquisition. Since 2021, AUGIER has aligned its transformer portfolio with the EU Ecodesign directive and migrated watertight transformers to biodegradable vegetable oil. Recent product launches (PTC Shelter 2019, AUGIER-BOX II connectivity, CEP19 and STEPIII in 2022) indicate ongoing investment in lighter substations, IoT-enabled monitoring, and power-line carrier communication, positioning the company for smart-grid and renewable energy infrastructure applications.

Core offering

AUGIER Energy designs, manufactures, and supplies medium-voltage energy distribution equipment, including transformer stations, network transformers, voltage regulators, and communication/supervision systems for long-distance power transmission (typically 500 m to 50 km). The company serves mission-critical infrastructure operators in transportation, defense, oil & gas, and power generation markets. It also provides associated engineering, installation, and maintenance services for its equipment.

Product overview

AUGIER Energy offers a comprehensive portfolio of medium voltage energy distribution solutions designed for long-distance power transport (500 meters to 50 km). The product range centers on four main categories: (1) Transformer Stations including PTC Shelter, PTS outdoor/indoor substations, Mobile Transformer Substations, and CEP19 Contactor Switch Cells for voltage transformation and network switching; (2) Network Transformers & Equipment including Watertight Transformers (TER and Modulo series), Voltamax, Oil Transformers, and Dry Type Transformers for step-up/step-down conversion; (3) Communications & Supervision featuring GTCEP monitoring systems with GSM/SMS alerts, STEP3 power line carrier communication, and various switch panels; (4) Variators & Regulators including the COMPACTO II lighting variator-regulator for energy savings, and DIAM series constant current regulators (3100, 4100, 4200) for airfield and industrial lighting. The integrated system allows customers to achieve 30% cost reduction through reduced cable cross-sections and optimized energy transport, with remote monitoring and control capabilities across all installations.

Broad incumbents

• Hitachi Energy: Specialist in transformers, substations, and grid integration for utilities and renewables. Direct overlap with AUGIER's medium voltage transformer and substation products; particularly competitive as the renewable grid buildout drives demand for grid step-up and long-distance power transport.
• Legrand: Global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure with growing presence in medium voltage and energy distribution. Comparable in addressing infrastructure customers but with a much broader product portfolio spanning residential through industrial electrical systems.
• ABB: Global power and automation incumbent offering distribution transformers, substations, and switchgear for utilities and infrastructure. Overlaps directly with AUGIER's transformer and substation products, especially in rail, ports, and renewable grid integration projects.
• Eaton: US-headquartered power management company with strong medium voltage transformer and switchgear portfolio. Comparable in addressing utility, industrial, and infrastructure power distribution needs, though at much broader product scope than AUGIER.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Major provider of medium voltage equipment, transformers, and airfield lighting constant current regulators. Competes with AUGIER on large infrastructure tenders including airports (where Siemens has dominant CCR share) and rail signaling power.
• Schneider Electric: Global leader in energy management and electrical distribution with broad medium voltage transformer, switchgear, and substation offerings. Directly comparable as a competitor on airport, rail, and infrastructure projects where AUGIER also competes, but at vastly larger scale across a full electrical portfolio.
