What Sied 70 does

SIED 70 (Syndicat Intercommunal d'Énergie du département de la Haute-Saône) is a closed mixed public syndicate (syndicat mixte fermé) established in 1995, headquartered in Vesoul, France. It operates as the sole Authority for Public Electricity Distribution (AODE) for all 536 communes and 2 communautés de communes of the Haute-Saône department, governing electricity distribution through 30-year concession contracts with Enedis and SICAE-EST (signed December 2019). The organization employs 28 agents distributed across finance/HR, IT, renewable energy/energy efficiency, and network operations functions, housed in a purpose-acquired headquarters at 1 rue Max Devaux since 2022.

SIED 70's service portfolio spans core infrastructure management (electricity distribution oversight covering 144,962 delivery points and 4,115 transformer stations; gas distribution via GRDF concession for 4 communes; public lighting maintenance covering 126 municipalities and 12,835 light points; telecommunications civil engineering) and energy transition services (biomass heating with 5 boilers in operation and 4 under construction; 10 photovoltaic plants producing 190 MWh in 2024; 49 EV charging stations). Advisory services include shared energy consulting (Conseil en Énergie Partagé / Économe de Flux) for 243 municipalities with 250 audits completed, Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) management generating 131,771 € in 2025, and collective purchasing groups for electricity, gas, and wood pellets.

The organization's revenue model is non-commercial, reflecting its public establishment status. Funding flows from the tax on final electricity consumption (TCFE/accise), municipal contributions for uncovered works, CEE certificate sales with partial retrocession to municipalities, concessionnaire investments (Enedis, SICAE-EST), and EV charging usage fees (0.36 €/kWh accelerated, 0.54 €/kWh rapid). SIED 70 operates wholly-owned subsidiaries (Régie des Énergies Renouvelables since 2007, SPIC photovoltaic since 2018) and holds minority stakes in SEML Côte-d'Or Énergies (since 2019) and SAS Hémère (since 2024) for regional renewable energy development. Administration is led by President André GAUTHIER (elected May 2026) and Director Fabrice TONGHINI (since 2016), with governance through 9 Commissions Locales de l'Énergie and a Committee of approximately 55 delegates.
