What SATELEC - FAYAT ENERGIE SERVICES does

SATELEC is a French electrical engineering and infrastructure services firm founded in 1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FAYAT ÉNERGIE SERVICES within the diversified Groupe FAYAT. Headquartered in Viry-Châtillon in the Île-de-France region, the company delivers turnkey electrical, thermal, ICT, and mobility solutions across four service lines: tertiary buildings (schools, hospitals, sports facilities, commercial surfaces, offices); industry and environment (process automation, robotics, electromechanics, energy recovery); smart-city electrical networks and public lighting; and transport electrical integration (metro, tramway, bus, railway). Stated scale metrics include €200 million in annual turnover and 1,121 employees deployed across French territory, served through 14 regional agencies spanning Île-de-France, Hauts-de-France, Sud-Est, and La Réunion.

Underlying technical capabilities cover strong-current and weak-current (CFO/CFA) installations, LoRa-based telegestion of public lighting with demonstrated 50-65% municipal energy savings, underground network burial and fiber optic deployment, photovoltaic system integration, EV charging infrastructure, and remote automation of locks and dams. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts awarded via French public procurement (appels d'offres), performance-based frameworks (marchés globaux de performance), and direct commercial engagements with industrial and private-sector clients. Marquee engagements include RATP Bus 2025 electrification, the Centre Hospitalier de Lens construction electrical lot, the Musée du Grand Siècle intra-FAYAT consortium, and multi-year performance contracts with municipalities such as Sucy-en-Brie, Rambouillet, Loon-Plage, Anzin, Grand-Orly Seine Bièvre, and Calais.

The business model is anchored in competitively bid electrical works and long-duration performance-based partnerships that monetize guaranteed energy savings. Certifications include MASE safety management (renewed 2025, 3-year term), AMIF Prix de la Biodiversité 2024, and HappyIndexTrainees 2023, with an in-house École de Formation SATELEC structured around partnerships with Neoma BS, AFPA, Formapelec, ORSYS, and other electrical-trade schools to support technician recruitment and skills development in a labor-constrained sector.
