SPL-OSER

What SPL-OSER does

SPL-OSER (Société Publique Locale d'Efficacité Énergétique) is a French public local company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Grenoble, dedicated exclusively to energy renovation of public buildings in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The company serves as a mandatary (mandataire de maîtrise d'ouvrage) for its 37 shareholder collectivities—including the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes as majority shareholder, approximately 30 communes, Grand Lyon Métropole, the Département du Puy-de-Dôme, and an energy syndicate (SYANE)—executing comprehensive energy renovations through Marchés Globaux de Performance Énergétique (MGP) contracts that guarantee energy savings of 20–70% on final and primary energy consumption, typically targeting the BBC rénovation certification standard.

The technical offering combines energy audits, technical and financial advisory, full project management from design through construction oversight, performance verification, and renewable energy development (solar thermal, photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal). Operations are delivered across three regional offices (Grenoble, Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand) plus a Volvic antenna, with a team led by Director General Philippe Truchy and supported by three sector managers, nine operation managers, and dedicated energy performance engineers. By 2020, SPL-OSER had delivered 25+ renovation operations managing over 82 M€ of investment, including 7 lycées, 15 schools, 2 gymnasiums, and municipal buildings, with cumulative projected savings of 3,005 MWh/year (final energy) and 6,056 MWh/year (primary energy).

The business model is professional-services based: SPL-OSER is remunerated through fees negotiated in public mandate agreements ("au nom et pour le compte" of the collectivity), with advances drawn as projects progress. The company also enables access to European (FEDER), national (ADEME), regional, and Banque des Territoires financing for its shareholders. As a Société Publique Locale, it is legally restricted to serving its public-sector shareholders, which both defines and constrains its addressable market.

Revenue model

1. Mandat de Maîtrise d'Ouvrage Fees: SPL-OSER operates as a mandatary (mandataire) for local governments. The company receives mandates to execute energy renovation projects 'au nom et pour le compte' of the collecting entity. Collectivities provide advances as the project progresses. Revenue comes from fees negotiated in mandate agreements covering project management, technical oversight, and coordination services.
2. European and National Subsidies Administration: The company helps collectivities access funding from European (FEDER), national (ADEME), regional, and territorial bank sources. While not direct revenue, this enables project financing that sustains operations.

• ENGIE Solutions: Large subsidiary of ENGIE providing energy efficiency, facility management, and energy performance contracts to public buildings and territorial authorities across France — overlaps directly on global energy performance contracts (CPPE/MGPE).
• SOCOTEC France: Testing, inspection, and certification group offering energy audits, building performance assessments, and regulatory compliance services to public building owners — competes for the audit/assessment layer that SPL-OSER bundles into its mandate offering.
