Alisee

What Alisee does

Alisée is a non-profit association (association déclarée under French law of 1901) operating as an ecological transition accelerator across the Pays de la Loire region of France. It is structured around three territorial antennas covering Loire-Atlantique, Maine-et-Loire, and the broader region, employing roughly 30 people. The organization delivers six thematic programs: home renovation advice through the France Renov' public service; energy poverty accompaniment via the Slime door-to-door visit program; citizen renewable energy development via its CoWatt subsidiary (created in 2017); ecomobility initiatives including the TIMS/MERCIS program and AMI TIMI senior mobility pilots; environmental education in schools through Défi Class'Énergie and related workshops; and energy sobriety challenges including the 'Les défis climat' app for collective behavior change.

Alisée does not operate as a technology company; its core digital infrastructure is the Cumulonimbus cloud collaboration platform and the 'Les défis climat' mobile/web application used for gamified citizen engagement. Service delivery is field-based through in-person visits, in-store counters at Leroy Merlin, municipal offices, community workshops, schools, and public forums, with a national convention signed with ANAH in June 2025 formalizing the in-store advice role.

Revenue is generated through public grants and institutional funding rather than commercial pricing — services are free to end users. Key funding sources include ADEME, ANAH, ARS Pays de la Loire, the Loire-Atlantique and Maine-et-Loire departments, CEE (Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie) certificates, and local authority conventions with Nantes Métropole, Mauges Communauté, and CCEG. The association also collects membership dues via the HelloAsso platform and benefits from CoWatt project development fees. Customers/beneficiaries span households in energy poverty or planning renovation, municipalities and intercommunalities seeking sustainable mobility and territorial transition support, primary and secondary schools, citizen collectives organizing around renewable energy, and private enterprises seeking employee mobility solutions.

Its France Renov' service is co-funded through conventions with local authorities (Nantes Métropole, CCEG, Mauges Communauté, etc.) and national agencies (ANAH). The TIMS/MERCIS mobility program is financed by CEE (Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie).
2. Membership Dues and Solidarity Contributions: Alisée operates as a declared association (Association déclarée) with a membership/adhesion program. Individuals and organizations can become members, ambassadors, or board members through an annual contribution via HelloAsso platform.
3. CoWatt (Subsidiary Company for Solar Projects): CoWatt, a company created by Alisée in 2017, acts as the administrative and financial vehicle for citizen solar projects. It enables local energy production while generating modest revenue streams through project development fees and energy output arrangements.
