LLUM

What LLUM does

LLUM (legal entity: SAS ENRGIA ENERGIE CATALANE) is a French green electricity supplier headquartered in Prats de Mollo la Preste, in the Pyrénées-Orientales department. Founded circa 2020–2021, the company supplies 100% renewable electricity sourced from local producers using hydraulic, methanization, and solar generation, primarily to residential (Particuliers) and professional (Professionnels) customers in the Occitanie region. Its core customer proposition is renewable supply priced below the regulated tariff (TRV), with a fixed monthly fee of €2.10 (HT) and no commitment, structured around three offers: Base, Heures Pleines/Heures Creuses (HP/HC), and a parrainage (referral) program.

The company operates as a retailer rather than a producer, integrating with the Enedis distribution network and consuming Linky smart meter data for billing. It has layered partnerships to extend its product surface: Voltalis for connected energy management device installation, the Coq Vert network for green-entrepreneur certification and visibility, and regional sponsorships (USAP, Dragons Catalans) plus local partners (Nature & Développement, Groupe FHE) for community-rooted distribution. A public consumption calculator and TRV comparison tool support customer acquisition, and a dedicated professional tier with custom quotes for sites above 36 kVA extends the addressable customer base into SMB and small commercial segments.

The business model is a classic alternative-supplier retail spread on kWh plus a flat monthly fee, monetized primarily through residential and small professional contracts. Go-to-market is hyper-local and community-driven in Pyrénées-Orientales, no external funding rounds are disclosed, and the entity carries ~€2M in share capital with 8 employees, indicating a small, organically financed retail operation rather than a venture-backed scale play.

Core offering

LLUM is a local Catalan green electricity supplier operating in the Occitanie region (primarily Pyrénées-Orientales) of southern France. The company supplies renewable electricity sourced from local hydraulic, methanization, and solar producers to residential households and small businesses via no-commitment subscription contracts priced below the regulated tariff (TRV), with monthly billing on actual consumption tracked through Linky smart meters.

Product overview

LLUM is a local green electricity supplier serving residential and professional customers in Occitanie, France. The company offers a portfolio of renewable electricity plans centered around two core residential products: the 'Offre Base' (fixed-rate plan for stable consumption) and the 'Offre Heures pleines / Heures creuses' (time-of-use plan for customers with electric heating). Professional offerings target small businesses (3-36 kVA) and larger enterprises (>36 kVA with custom quotes). Supporting tools include a consumption calculator and offer comparison tool. The company differentiates itself through competitive pricing below regulated tariffs, local personalized service, no-commitment contracts, and renewable energy sourcing from hydraulics, methanization, and solar production. An referral program (parrainage) provides mutual bill reductions for both referrer and referred customer.
