Territoire d'énergie Hautes-Alpes SyME05

What Territoire d'énergie Hautes-Alpes SyME05 does

Territoire d'énergie Hautes-Alpes SyME05 (TE05) is a public territorial energy syndicate (syndicat mixte d'énergie) established in 2009 and headquartered in Chorges, France. It serves as the departmental organizing authority for electricity distribution and energy transition matters for the 159 communes of the Hautes-Alpes department in southeastern France, employing 15 staff under the leadership of President Jean-Claude Dou, Director General of Services Marylin Taix, and seven Vice-Presidents. Its membership is statutory and covers the entire department, making it the sole syndicate of its kind within this perimeter.

The syndicate's operational portfolio spans electricity distribution network management (with an annual investment program of approximately €4 million in network works), the EBorn public EV charging network (85 charging points), hydroelectric generation (notably the Champoléon plant producing 510 MWh/year), photovoltaic installations including a 93.6 kWc solar carport with second-life battery storage, wood-chip district heating networks (including the recently inaugurated Baratier BARATI'BOIS network), public lighting services, building energy renovation advisory, and group energy purchasing services for member communes. Through the ERES regional entente, it coordinates with four other southern French departmental energy syndicates.

TE05's revenue model is structured around statutory cotisations from member communes, fees from delegated public services (particularly the EBorn charging network operated under mandate), ADEME and Région Sud co-financing for energy transition projects, concession-related flows from Enedis, and fees from group energy purchasing services. The organization is a member of the national FNCCR federation and partners with EDF, Enedis, Vinci (Easy Charge), GEG ENeR, and SMED13. Recent strategic priorities include hydrogen exploration (Hydrogen Commission launched September 2025), smart-charging optimization with dynamic tariffs, and continued buildout of renewable production assets.

Revenue model

1. Travaux d'investissement sur réseaux électriques: Annual investment program of approximately €4 million into public electricity distribution networks, covering extension, reinforcement, securitization, and underground burial. Financed through municipal contributions (communal participation for environmental works), FACÉ national fund, Enedis contributions per concession agreement, and syndicate's own funds.
2. Cotisations éclairage public: Annual municipal contributions for public lighting services, calculated as three-component fee: fixed Category A (mutualization), variable Category B (renewals performed), and variable Category C (energy consumption). Optional services for autonomous lighting and festive lighting.
3. My Eborn – Mandat de gestion bornes de recharge: Communes mandate TE05 for supply, maintenance and management of EV charging infrastructure within Eborn service. Fees calculated as 9.66% of investment sum plus €1,100 annual supervision/maintenance fee (2021 rates). Delegated service operator is Easy Charge (Vinci subsidiary).
4. Groupement d'achat d'énergie: Coordinated energy purchasing group with SMED13 (Bouches-du-Rhône). TE05 coordinates member communes and manages energy procurement (electricity and gas) through framework agreements with PLUM ÉNERGIE (C5), EDF (C2-C4), and GAZ DE BORDEAUX (gaz naturel), benefiting from volume pricing effects.
5. Réseaux de chaleur – Chauffage bois: Heat networks are developed under public project ownership (maître d'ouvrage) by TE05. Financing sourced from Région Sud (30%), ADEME (39%), and TE05 (31%), as demonstrated in Baratier's 677,246€ TTC project. Users are billed for heat consumption.
6. Fonds Chaleur – Subventions pour ENR thermiques: ADEME-funded incentive program (Contrat Chaleur Renouvelable Territorial) where TE05 distributes financial aid to renewable heat projects (geothermal, solar thermal, wood energy, waste heat, heat networks) for public and private entities. Third allocation commission awarded 241,744€ to three projects in July 2025.

Regional players

• SYMIELEC83 - Syndicat Mixte de l'Énergie Électrique du Var: Departmental energy syndicate serving Var municipalities, ERES co-founder alongside TE05. Operates the same organizing-authority model for electricity distribution and offers a similar bouquet of transition services including EV charging and renewable energy support.
• SEV84 - Syndicat d'Énergie de Vaucluse: Departmental energy syndicate for Vaucluse municipalities, fifth ERES co-founder with TE05. Comparable public entity operating as organizing authority for electricity distribution and energy transition services within a single department.
• Territoire d'énergie Drôme: Departmental energy syndicate for Drôme, also co-founder of the EBorn network with TE05. Operates the same organizing-authority model and transition service bouquet in an adjacent Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes department.
• SDE04 - Syndicat d'Énergie des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: Adjacent departmental energy syndicate in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, co-founding member of ERES with TE05. Operates the same public-authority model for electricity distribution and transition services in a neighboring department, with similar rural commune base and partnership structures.
• SMED13 - Syndicat Mixte d'Énergie des Bouches-du-Rhône: Departmental energy syndicate in Bouches-du-Rhône, ERES co-member and TE05's group energy purchasing partner (coordinated framework agreements for electricity and gas). Larger in scale than TE05 but operates the same autorité organisatrice model for public electricity distribution and transition services.
• SEDI - Syndicat d'Énergie du Département de l'Isère: Departmental energy syndicate for Isère, co-founder of the EBorn EV charging network alongside TE05 in 2013. Operates the same organizing-authority model with broader competence transfers including Électrification, Gaz, Éclairage Public, and Services Numériques.

Others

• Easy Charge (Groupe Vinci): Vinci subsidiary operating EBorn public EV charging infrastructure under a delegation of public service contract. Operates and maintains the charging points that TE05 deploys as project owner, making it a complementary channel partner rather than a competing entity.
• FNCCR - Fédération Nationale des Collectivités Concédantes et Régies: National federation representing French local public utilities and concession-granting authorities, of which TE05 is a member. FNCCR represents TE05's interests in national energy policy, organizes the annual congress, and administers the Terre d'Innovation label program that TE05 has leveraged.

Broad incumbents

• EDF: Historic national electricity incumbent with which TE05 signed a Convention Solidarité Énergétique in January 2025 covering energy demand management and fuel poverty. EDF supplies the historical tariff electricity underlying TE05's distribution activities and participates as a generation partner.
• Enedis: National electricity distribution operator that holds the public-service concession for the distribution network that TE05 owns and oversees as organizing authority. Enedis operates all network maintenance, customer connections, and metering under contract with TE05 and is therefore the most directly comparable operator across the T&D value chain.
