Energie d'ici

What Energie d'ici does

Energie d'ici (legal entity: Union des Producteurs Locaux d'Électricité, U.P.L.E.) is a French renewable electricity supplier founded in 2016 and wholly owned by 11 associated independent renewable energy producers. The company operates a direct producer-to-consumer short-circuit model: it purchases electricity from member producers under long-term contracts and resells it to end consumers via the Enedis distribution network (and local ELD networks such as RSE01 in Dombes), without changing the customer's meter or installation. It aggregates output from 230+ French renewable plants (60% hydroelectric, 33% wind, 5% biomass, 2% solar), totaling approximately 1 TWh of annual supply as of May 2025. The customer base of about 16,600 subscribers is approximately 75% professional and 25% residential, with both segments subscribing via downloadable forms and dedicated regional chargé d'affaires account managers.

The product portfolio centers on electricity supply tariffs (Particuliers and Professionnels offers, plus region-specific propositions for Lyon, Pau, Loire/Haute-Loire, and Dombes), supplemented by Riverain offers providing preferential tariffs to residents living near partner wind and solar farms (RWE, Renner, BayWa r.e., Q ENERGY, PYREN, Elicio). Complementary customer tools include the Ecojoko energy monitoring partnership (third-party device with claimed 18% average savings) and the Météo de l'énergie production/consumption dashboard. A Corporate PPA vertical (inaugurated with SERFIM in 2022) provides long-term industrial-grade contracts. Origine France Garantie certification (BV Cert attestation no. 7054988) anchors the brand promise of 100% French renewable electricity under direct producer contracts.

Revenue is generated primarily from electricity supply margins (kWh resold at savings of up to 10% for individuals and up to 15% for professionals versus regulated tariffs) plus supplementary fees (Prime Fixe Energie), Ecojoko sales/rental, and revenue from PPAs. Disclosed revenue reached approximately 100 million euros in 2024, up from 62 million in 2022. The company employs 32 staff across Lyon (operational HQ since May 2025), Pau (new agency, October 2025), and the registered seat in Arudy (Pyrénées-Atlantiques). Distribution, GTM, and customer engagement are hybrid: direct sales via regional business managers, self-serve website subscription, community events at power plants, an industry-event presence (Salon des Maires, France Hydro), and a referral program (Club d'Ici, 20€ credit per party). The company is a member of ANODE (with the DG serving as Co-President) and France Hydro Électricité.

Core offering

Energie d'ici is a French electricity supplier that aggregates and resells 100% renewable electricity (hydroelectric, wind, solar, biomass) directly from local French producers to end consumers via long-term purchase contracts. The company operates on the Enedis distribution network and local ELD networks, offering subscription-based electricity supply to individuals (Particuliers), professionals (Professionnels), and local authorities, with complementary services such as the Ecojoko consumption monitoring device, riverain discount offers near partner wind/solar farms, and corporate Power Purchase Agreements (cPPAs).

Product overview

Energie d'ici is a French renewable electricity supplier founded in 2016 by independent local energy producers united under the Union des Producteurs Locaux d'Électricité (U.P.L.E.). The company operates a direct-to-consumer model connecting renewable energy producers with end consumers, offering 100% local and certified renewable electricity (Origine France Garantie). The product portfolio consists of core electricity supply services for two main segments: individual residential consumers (Particuliers) and business customers (Professionnels), with regional variants tailored to specific territories (Lyon, Pau, Loire/Haute-Loire, Dombes). A key differentiator is the Riverain Offers program providing preferential electricity tariffs to residents living near partner wind and solar farms. Complementary offerings include Ecojoko (connected energy monitoring device for consumption management), the Météo de l'énergie forecasting tool, a referral program (Club d'Ici), and Corporate PPA services for business energy procurement. Producer-side services support renewable installations ≥100 kW with contract management, aggregation, and development assistance.
