The energy transition holds an important place in the policies in favor of mobility and building renovation, conducted for several years by the Department.
The creation of the local Mixed Economy Company (SEML) GREEN Energy 06 complements the Department’s action by enabling it to act on the development of renewable energies in partnership with Banque des Terroires, Caisse d’Epargne Côte d’Azur, and the Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole.
This action is part of the Department’s GREEN Deal strategy, which includes, notably, the continuation of the multi-annual energy renovation plan for colleges, the implementation of the energy renovation support service (SARE), and the creation of a support fund for energy management works.
The SEML is intended to initiate operations, participate in actions, and provide financial leverage to launch renewable energy projects. For this, it will rely on an initial share capital of €1.65 million, followed by a total shareholder investment over the next five years amounting to more than €11 million. A financial lever supporting sectors such as: Heating networks; Photovoltaic plants; Methanization; Hydroelectric power; Green hydrogen; Natural biogas.
For Charles Ange Ginésy, appointed President of the company at the constituent assembly: “I am very proud to launch a project that is particularly close to my heart: the creation of the local Mixed Economy Company GREEN Energy 06. Following the “Confort Energie 06” program, we want to go further. GREEN Energy 06 will accelerate the transition to renewable energy, which currently only accounts for 7% of our Department’s energy needs.
