What Lowatt does

Lowatt is a France-based B2B energy efficiency consulting firm founded in 2018 in Montpeyroux, Occitanie, by energy specialists Laure and Didier DESVARD and IT specialist Sylvain THENAULT. The company serves industrial, commercial, and public-sector clients paying energy or water bills who need visibility into consumption patterns, guidance on energy efficiency investments with calculated return-on-investment periods, regulatory compliance support (energy audits, the French tertiary decree and its OPERAT platform, ISO 50001 certification, and anticipated air-quality regulations), and IoT sub-metering infrastructure. Named reference clients include Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Sofrilog, Eau de Paris, Laboratoires Gilbert, and the Bailly-Romainvilliers aquatic center.

The company's core technology is an online energy data analysis platform that retrieves consumption data and cross-references it with production, weather, and IoT sub-meter data, producing continuously updated energy and water indicators without manual data collection. The platform is offered alongside technical consulting services that include site audits, improvement planning, and ongoing animation of cross-functional client teams (technical, financial, quality, maintenance). Lowatt can also manage indicator monitoring on behalf of clients. The firm operates from a Montpellier headquarters and a Toulouse office, and has been supported in its growth by INDDIGO, a sustainable development consultancy established in 1986, since 2020.

Lowatt's revenue model combines professional services (consulting, audits, regulatory support) with recurring subscription or usage fees for the online analysis platform, with engagement terms tailored to each client site. Distribution is direct enterprise B2B sales with no public pricing disclosed, and the company supplements direct sales with referrals through a partner ecosystem that includes Agri Sud-Ouest, Vinseo, Vignerons Engagés, Région Occitanie, and Zei. As of the latest available data, Lowatt employs approximately six people and operates exclusively within France.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification firm with a strong French energy and environmental services practice, including energy audits, ISO 50001, and ESG assurance. Comparable on the regulatory compliance/audit side, but as a much larger diversified incumbent.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure / Energy & Sustainability Services): Global energy management and industrial automation major with a French heritage, offering energy consulting, IoT-enabled sub-metering, and energy management software (EcoStruxure). Represents the broad-incumbent competitive threat — overlapping capability set but at vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Dalkia (EDF group): Major French energy services provider (part of EDF) offering energy audits, efficiency works, and on-site energy management for industrial and tertiary clients. Comparable service lines for energy audits and décret tertiaire compliance, but with utility-scale resources and integrated financing.
• Afnor (ISO 50001 / énergie): French standards and certification body offering ISO 50001 certification and energy-related conformity services. Comparable for the regulatory certification piece of Lowatt's value proposition, though not a direct competitor on consulting or SaaS.

Direct peers

• GreenFlex: France-based energy and environmental performance consultancy offering energy efficiency advisory alongside a digital platform for energy and ESG data management. Direct overlap with Lowatt's hybrid consulting-plus-software model in the French mid-market.
• INDDIGO: Parent company and core strategic partner. INDDIGO is a French sustainable development consulting firm (est. 1986) offering broader environmental and energy transition advisory — directly comparable in French energy consulting services and a co-delivery partner on mandates such as the Eau de Paris audit.
• Carbone 4: French independent consultancy specializing in carbon strategy, decarbonization pathways, and climate transition advisory for corporates. Closely comparable to Lowatt in delivering energy/climate strategy services to French enterprises, though with a stronger carbon/MACC orientation.
• Enea Consulting: Paris-based energy and environmental strategy consultancy serving industrial and infrastructure clients. Directly comparable consulting footprint in the French market with similar focus on energy transition and operational efficiency.
• EcoAct: French-origin carbon and climate consultancy (now part of South Pole Group) providing carbon footprinting, SBTi target-setting, and energy/climate transition advisory. Comparable in serving French enterprises with decarbonization strategy and carbon data services.

Emerging players

• Deepki: French-founded SaaS platform for ESG and energy data management in the real estate sector, with cross-data analytics on consumption, production, and weather. Highly comparable on the online energy data analysis product side, with overlap in the French market and a similar data-integration thesis, though focused on real estate rather than industrial sites.
