ALIZES ENERGIE

What ALIZES ENERGIE does

Alizés Energie is a wholly-owned SAS subsidiary of French multinational ENGIE Group, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Mont-Dore, New Caledonia. The company operates as a B2B electricity producer and integrated renewable energy project developer, managing a diversified portfolio of generation assets across New Caledonia (main island), the Loyalty Islands (Lifou, Île Ouen), and Wallis and Futuna. Its core business is the production, sale, and purchase of electrical energy under both renewable (wind, solar PV, battery storage, biofuel) and thermal (diesel) forms, serving primarily government-owned utilities ENERCAL, EEC (Électricité EWS Calédonie), and EEWF (Wallis and Futuna) under long-term contracted exploitation agreements granted by the Government of New Caledonia.

The company's technology stack centers on hybrid island energy systems that integrate wind turbines (~43 MW total installed), solar PV farms (~25+ MWc across 20+ sites), a 5.4 MVA / 15 MWh Li-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) on Lifou (1,552 modules across 6 containers), and 10 MW of thermal backup generation. A distinctive complementary program, "Assiette Verte," collects and recycles approximately 150,000 liters per year of used cooking oil from 370+ restaurant and food-industry partners across New Caledonia, converting it into biofuel for EEC power plants on Lifou and Île Ouen. The company also co-develops utility-scale PV projects with customary land groups (GDPLs) and local mixed-economy companies, including a 49% local equity structure on the PV CIU project at Canala.

Revenue is generated through long-term electricity offtake contracts with government utilities, government-issued exploitation authorizations, and turnkey project delivery (e.g., 1.9 MWc PV build-out for EEWF on Wallis). The company has 21 employees and a registered share capital of 300,000,000 XPF (RCS Nouméa No. 765 446). Operational scale is demonstrated by outcomes such as Lifou reaching over 50% renewable electricity (Waihmene PV, operational August 2021) and rising above 62% with FENIJE PV (authorized September 2021), avoidance of approximately 5,574 tonnes CO2/year from Prony PV, and 1 million liters of diesel saved per year on Lifou since 2016. The company is pursuing a 100% renewable target for the Loyalty Islands by 2030.
