What Syan'enr does
Syan'EnR is a Société d'Economie Mixte (SEM) founded in 2017 and headquartered in Poisy, Haute-Savoie (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France). The company develops, finances, builds, and operates renewable energy installations across three technology verticals: solar photovoltaic (rooftop, parking ombrières, ground-mounted), small-scale run-of-river hydroelectricity (including micro-turbining on drinking water networks), and biogas production via methanization. Syan'EnR acts as a third-party investor (tiers investisseur), bearing 100% of project capital expenditure and operational risk in exchange for revenue from rent payments, feed-in tariff electricity sales, and equity stakes in project SPVs.
The ownership structure is 70% public (Syndicat des Énergies et de l'Aménagement numérique de la Haute-Savoie — Syane) and 30% private (ESSPROD 10%, RETPROD 10%, SIPEnR 10%), embedding the company within the Haute-Savoie energy-governance ecosystem. Operations are led by Director General Patrice Ravaud (since 2025) and President Jean-Pierre Steyer (since late 2020). The company serves two primary segments: local authorities (communes, intercommunalités, public institutions such as Passy, Saint-Jorioz, Margencel, Marcellaz-Albanais, and Grand Annecy) and private enterprises (e.g., Laboratoire Vivacy in Archamps), with an emerging agricultural segment for methanization.
The business model combines a 20-year emphyteutic lease/rental structure (where clients pay fixed rent and become installation owners at contract end) with full-injection electricity sales to EDF and local distribution régies, plus collective self-consumption models. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by channel partnerships (notably SeeYouSun for ombrières, initiated February 2025) and institutional referral through the Syane network and Centrales Villageoises cooperatives. Disclosed operational assets include the Archamps PV (324 kWc, 360 MWh/year), Saint-Jorioz gymnasium PV (162 kWc, 187 MWh/year), Margencel school PV (~82 MWh/year), and Marcellaz-Albanais hall PV (20.3 kWc, 24 MWh/year), with the La Motte hydroelectric plant (4.5MW, 11 GWh/year target) undergoing renovation under an April 2026 convention with Passy and a ~10 MWc ombrière pipeline targeted by end-2026.

Revenue model
- Solar rental / lease contracts (autoconsommation): Syan'EnR finances, installs, and manages photovoltaic installations on client surfaces (rooftops, parking ombrières). Clients pay a fixed monthly/annual rent for 20 years and gain ownership at contract end. The company handles exploitation, maintenance, and surplus energy resale. This creates recurring rental income over the contract period.
- Full injection electricity sales: For solar installations sold under the full injection model, Syan'EnR manages the production and sale of electricity injected into the public distribution network. Revenue is generated from selling electricity to the obligated buyer (EDF or local distribution companies) under feed-in tariff arrangements.
- Hydroelectricity production and sale: Syan'EnR develops and operates hydroelectric installations (e.g., La Motte de Passy, 4.5MW). Electricity produced is either sold to EDF/obligated buyers or used for collective self-consumption (communal autoconsommation). The company holds stakes in project SPVs for long-term operation.
- Methanization project development and support: Syan'EnR provides consulting, feasibility studies, financing, and operational support for biogas production projects through methanization. Revenue derives from project development fees, ongoing management fees, and stakes in operating SPVs.
