SDE76

What SDE76 does

SDE76 (Syndicat Départemental d'Energie 76) is a public territorial energy syndicate (syndicat mixte) governed by French public law, headquartered in Isneauville, Seine-Maritime, Normandy. It serves as the organizing authority for public electricity distribution, public lighting, and gas service concessions across the department, with statutory oversight over concession contracts and delegated project management for network works on behalf of 408 member communes, 108 colleges, and 46 intercommunalities (EPCI). SDE76 also coordinates the collective purchasing groupement d'achat for electricity and natural gas, aggregating 562 members to secure negotiated supply rates under multi-year framework agreements (most recently 2026-2028 at 193 €/MWh electricity and 96.2 €/MWh gas).

The organization's technology portfolio spans EV charging infrastructure (121 stations deployed since 2016 under DSP with TotalEnergies and Eiffage Energie Systèmes, targeting 485+ points by 2035 under a Prefecture-validated SDIRVE), solar PV deployment on public rooftops through the SPIC SDE76 Solaire service (e.g., a 220-panel, 80 kVA installation at Gonneville-la-Mallet producing 90,000 kWh/year), feasibility studies for geothermal and wood energy, building energy renovation support (demonstrating 83% energy savings on the Notre-Dame-de-Bliquetuit town hall), and an entry into agricultural biomethane production via the SAS Biométhane de l'Aliermont partnership with Keon.co signed March 2026. SDE76 also deployed France's first induction (wireless) EV charging station with UP&CHARGE in 2026.

SDE76 operates a sales-led GTM serving public-sector entities exclusively, with no commercial customers and no stock listing. Revenue mechanics rely on member contributions, concession-related fees, service charges for energy renovation and feasibility studies, and the SPIC SDE76 Solaire SPIC structure for renewable project financing. The organization employs 8 staff and outsources most infrastructure operations to DSP partners. It is governed by a 14-member bureau led by President Cécile Sineau-Patry (re-elected May 2026 for a 2026-2032 term) and is a founding member of the Territoire d'Energie Normandie entente, which it presided over in 2024.
