Syndicat Départemental d'Énergie des Côtes d'Armor

What Syndicat Départemental d'Énergie des Côtes d'Armor does

SDE22 (Syndicat Départemental d'Énergie des Côtes-d'Armor) is a French public territorial establishment (syndicat mixte) founded in 1937 and headquartered in Saint-Brieuc, Brittany. It functions as the energy authority for the Côtes-d'Armor department, serving all 344 communes and 8 intercommunal cooperation establishments (EPCI) within its jurisdiction. Its mandate spans electricity distribution concession management, public lighting, gas, telecommunications infrastructure, energy efficiency programs, electric vehicle (EV) charging, renewable energy coordination, and cartographic/GIS services.

The organization's core operational activities include managing and developing public energy infrastructure on behalf of its member communes. SDE22 operates 238 EV charging stations (comprising 222 accelerated, 10 rapid, and 6 supercharger units), maintains public lighting networks including the Lumactee+ connected lighting platform with remote monitoring capabilities, and coordinates renewable energy deployment through specialized subsidiaries. Its technical capabilities are grounded in geographic information systems, connected infrastructure, and grid operations rather than proprietary software products.

SDE22's financial model is built on mandatory member contributions from the 344 communes and 8 EPCI, supplemented by infrastructure investment allocations and concession-related revenues. The organization planned €43 million in investments across its service areas in 2025. Governance is provided by a 48-member Comité Syndical (37 commune delegates and 11 EPCI delegates), presided over by Dominique RAMARD. Three subsidiaries extend its operational scope: SEM Énergies 22, SPLET'Armor (telecommunications), and Part'ENR 22 (renewable energy development), enabling the syndicate to deliver specialized services beyond its core distribution mandate.
