Core offering

Acyléole is a citizen-owned energy cooperative structured as a SAS under the Économie Sociale et Solidaire framework, enabling local citizens and public collectives to co-invest in and co-own the 'Les Ailes du Chevre' wind farm. The wind farm comprises 3 turbines of 3.6 MW each (10.8 MW total installed capacity) located across Acigné, Thorigné-Fouillard, and Liffré in Brittany, France, with estimated annual production of 25 GWh. Profits are redistributed to local shareholders and reinvested in further energy transition projects such as sobriety, renovation, and additional renewable production.

Product overview

Acyléole is a citizen-owned energy cooperative that operates as a single-project company focused on developing and owning the 'Les Ailes du Chevré' wind farm project in Acigné, Brittany. The company structure includes the SAS Acyléole (a simplified joint-stock company created in May 2019) which enables citizens and local public authorities to hold majority ownership in the wind farm alongside the developer P&T Technologie. The project is not a software product but a renewable energy infrastructure initiative designed to keep economic benefits local.

Direct peers

• Énergie Partagée: National network of citizen-owned renewable energy cooperatives in France. Acyléole is an explicit member. Comparable in mission (citizen ownership of renewables) and governance (cooperative), though Énergie Partagée itself is a network/fund rather than a single-project operator.
• Taranis: Regional Brittany network supported by Conseil Régional de Bretagne and ADEME Bretagne to promote citizen renewable energy. Acyléole is a member; Taranis functions as an aggregator/network of citizen energy projects comparable in mission and structure.
• Bégawatts: Citizen-owned wind cooperative operating the Béganne wind farm (Morbihan, Brittany) with multiple turbines and ~28.6% capacity factor in 2023. Structurally and operationally the closest peer to Acyléole, sharing the same cooperative wind model in the same French region.
• Alisée: Citizen energy cooperative based in Brittany developing citizen-owned renewable projects including wind. Comparable mission and region to Acyléole, with multiple wind projects in development across Brittany.
• Énergies citoyennes en Pays de Vilaine: Regional citizen energy cooperative in Pays de Vilaine (Brittany). Direct territorial and operational peer to Acyléole, sharing the same cooperative renewable energy model in overlapping geography around the Rennes metropolitan area.
• Energie Commune: Cooperative developing citizen-owned wind farms in eastern France. Comparable citizen-wind cooperative model with democratic governance and local-ownership focus, though operating in a different region.

Broad incumbents

• Engie Green: Subsidiary of Engie dedicated to renewable energy development in France, with significant onshore wind capacity. Comparable as a French onshore wind developer/operator, though at much larger scale and with institutional ownership.
• EDPR (EDP Renováveis): One of the world's largest onshore wind operators and developers. Comparable in that it develops, owns, and operates utility-scale onshore wind farms including in France, though as a large institutional player rather than citizen cooperative.
• Iberdrola Renewables France: Subsidiary of Iberdrola operating onshore wind farms in France. Comparable as a utility-scale French onshore wind operator, though operating at substantially larger scale and with conventional utility ownership.

Others

• P&T Technologie / EnergieQuelle: Wind project developer (P&T Technologie is the French arm of German EnergieQuelle) that developed the 'Les Ailes du Chevr é' project. Not a cooperative peer, but a critical counterparty and ecosystem participant for citizen-wind projects like Acyléole's.
