TE13 Territoire d'Énergie Bouches-du-Rhône

What TE13 Territoire d'Énergie Bouches-du-Rhône does

TE13 — Territoire d'Énergie Bouches-du-Rhône is the operating brand of the Syndicat Mixte d'Énergie du Département des Bouches du Rhône (SMED13), a French public syndicat mixte established under French public law and headquartered in Miramas, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The organization serves all 119 communes of the Bouches-du-Rhône department and the Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence, covering a territory of approximately 2 million inhabitants. Its statutory mandate is to act as the local-authority counterparty for electricity and gas distribution concessions, exercising regulatory control over operators Enedis and GRDF on behalf of member communes.

The organization delivers five core service lines: electricity (concession control, Article 8 works, rural electrification), gas (concession monitoring), group energy purchasing for member communes, energy efficiency (photovoltaic, wind, biomethane, and heat/cold production support; public heritage and outdoor-lighting renovation), and clean mobility (electric-vehicle and bioGNV natural-gas mobility infrastructure). Operations are delivered through the Comité Syndical, Bureau Syndical, and organized commissions, with Pascal Montécot serving as President. Revenue derives from public-mandate funding, member contributions, and concession redevances rather than commercial product sales; no commercial pricing model applies. The organization also operates the Régie Simone sub-brand, a local public electricity distribution utility.

Core offering

TE13 is a public intermunicipal energy syndicate (syndicat mixte) that manages, on behalf of the 119 communes of Bouches-du-Rhône and the Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence, the statutory oversight of electricity and gas distribution concessions, coordinates group energy purchasing, and leads energy-transition programmes including renewable energy production (photovoltaic, wind, biomethane, heat/cold), public heritage and outdoor-lighting renovation, and clean mobility infrastructure (electric and natural-gas vehicles). It is funded through public mandates and member-contributions rather than commercial sales.

Product overview

TE13 Territoire d'Énergie Bouches-du-Rhône is a public energy syndicate serving the Bouches-du-Rhône department in France. It operates as a unified service platform providing five core offerings: Electricity (concession control and rural electrification), Gas (distribution concession monitoring), Energy Purchasing (group procurement coordination), Energy Efficiency (photovoltaic, wind, biomethane, and thermal production; public building and outdoor lighting renovation), and Clean Mobility (electric and natural gas vehicle infrastructure). These services are delivered through an integrated structure rather than separate modules, with the organization coordinating between member communes, distribution operators (Enedis, GRDF), and regional energy stakeholders.
