ALTE 69

What ALTE 69 does

ALTE 69 (Agence Locale de la Transition Énergétique du Rhône) is a non-profit association created in 2019 and headquartered in Lyon, France. It operates as a public service organization providing free, independent advisory and accompaniment services on energy renovation and renewable energy projects to three segments: individual households (Particuliers), local authorities (Collectivités), and building professionals (Professionnels) across the Rhône department, excluding the Métropole de Lyon. The organization functions as the designated France Rénov' Advice Space (Espace Conseil France Rénénov') for its territory, offering end-to-end project accompaniment spanning diagnostics, financing dossier assembly, professional selection, and post-renovation follow-up.

Its service portfolio combines human advisory with a small set of digital and physical tools. Core technology assets include Le Wattomètre, an online calculator providing roughly 50 tips to identify energy-consuming habits, and the B'WATT energy kit (an amphiro device, wattmeter, and temperature/CO2 sensor) available for household loan to measure water, electricity, heating consumption, and air quality. The organization also curates the Annuaire des Professionnels de la Rénovation Performante, a directory of vetted RGE (Recognized Guarantor of Environment) professionals co-managed with ALEC Lyon, and relays the national EcoWatt tool developed by RTE for grid-status signaling. Pedagogical resources include catalogues of animations, webinars, exemplary project site visits, and the Cartographie des Projets Exemples mapping tool.

The business model is grant-funded and mission-driven rather than revenue-generating in a commercial sense. ALTE 69 is supported by public institutional funders including ADEME (Agence de la Transition Écologique), the Rhône department council, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes région, Hespul, Rhône Développement Initiative, ANAH, and the European Commission. All advisory services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, and the organization is structurally independent from energy and materials suppliers, with no commercial interest in recommended works. Go-to-market is community-led and multi-channel: phone hotline, online appointment booking, periodic off-site permanences (1–2 times per month), at-home visits, webinars, community events (Apéros Rénover Malin), professional networking events (5à7 de l'éco-construction), and earned media.

• ANAH (Agence Nationale de l'Habitat): French national housing agency administering MaPrimeRénov' and other aid programs. While primarily a funder/regulator, ANAH operates a comparable public-interest mission and channels demand toward ALTE 69-style local advisors.
• France Rénov': National public service for building energy performance established by the French State. Operates the umbrella brand and governance framework under which ALTE 69 delivers its local advice space. Comparable in mission, scaled nationally.
• FLAME (Fédération des agences locales de maîtrise de l'énergie): National federation of local energy agencies of which ALTE 69 is a member. Provides peer-network, advocacy, and shared resources; acts as an umbrella body over comparable local structures across France.

Direct functional and structural peer.

Directly comparable as a sister local energy agency serving an adjacent territory, with overlapping mandate and joint program delivery (5 à 7 de l'éco-construction, professional directory).

Regional players

• SOLIHA: National federation of associations supporting modest-income households with renovation projects. ALTE 69 refers qualifying households to SOLIHA; both serve overlapping clienteles on housing renovation but with different funding models and target segments.
