What ccphva does

CCPHVA (Communauté de Communes Pays Haut Val d'Alzette) is a French public intercommunal authority (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale, EPCI) that coordinates a multi-service public mandate across 8 communes — Audun-le-Tiche, Aumetz, Boulange, Ottange, Rédange, Russange, Thil, and Villerupt — in the Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle departments along the Luxembourg border. Core service lines include household waste management (TEOMI tax plus a network of déchèteries and the Ecocito tracking app), mobility (the TeMo urban bus network, regional Fluo Grand Est and Proximo ticketing integration, Freshmile EV-charging operations, ICSBOR cycling corridors, Karos carpooling), cultural and recreational provision (the Aqualong swimming pool, festivals, the Rando Pays-Haut augmented-reality hiking app), early-childhood services (Crèche Ô Ptits Loupiots), tourism (with Esch2022 European Capital of Culture participation and a UNESCO transboundary Biosphere Reserve designation), economic development, and a France Services multi-channel service point. Land-use planning is governed by the PLUi-H document, which was annulled by the Conseil d'État in 2026, forcing a regulatory reset.

The entity runs on a public-finances operating model. Revenue mechanics combine the TEOMI property tax, tourist-tax receipts, service-level user fees (waste-facility passes, EV charging, Aqualong entry, early-childhood enrolment), partner contributions on cross-border projects, and EU Interreg FEDER co-financing. Three active Interreg grants — eLo (~€687K FEDER on a ~€1.875M budget), ICSBOR (~€1.25M FEDER on a ~€2.5M budget), and URBAFLOW (~€1.55M FEDER on a ~€3.05M budget) — represent the largest single-source external financing line and target cross-border cooperation with Luxembourg municipalities (Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Sanem, Differdange). Underlying technology comprises a vendor-mix web stack: Lizmap and Geo.Sig (QGIS-based) GIS portals, MapStore/GeoMapFish dashboards, Matomo analytics, Declaloc housing requests, Freshmile EV-charging backend, and the Ecocito waste platform; governance is anchored by President Patrick Hatzig.

The customer base is essentially the resident and worker population of the 8 communes plus cross-border users, with no commercial segment or competitive alternative provider within the perimeter; geographic monopoly and statutorily exclusive competencies combine to create a structural lock-in. As a public authority, CCPHVA has no equity, no shareholders, and no PE/VC investment surface — the analytical lens applied here is therefore capability and ecosystem positioning rather than investor return.

Product overview

CCPHVA (Communauté de Communes Pays Haut Val d'Alzette) is an intercommunal public authority serving 8 communes. Rather than a unified software product, it operates as a multi-service local government offering: waste management (collection, recycling center, TEOMI incentive system, Ecocito citizen portal), mobility services (TeMo public transport, EV charging via Freshmile, carpooling, VAE subsidies, ABACTIV cycle path), community facilities (Pierre de Coubertin swimming pool, early childhood services, road maintenance), and digital services (mobile app, Declaloc tourist declarations, tourist tax platform, OCCAZE economic zones tool, Lizmap-based cartography, augmented reality hiking trails). Cultural initiatives include the Interreg eLo cross-border cultural project. The organization also manages environmental initiatives such as the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, climate-energy strategy, renewable energy projects, and smart territory infrastructure (street lighting, fiber).
