A centre of hydropower expertise in the southwest
04/07/2017News
ENDEL, the SHEM and TRACTEBEL are three key players in France in the field of hydroelectricity. United under the ENGIE banner, they have developed a joint offer to provide solutions to all the potential problems faced by small hydro producers in the southwest of France in terms of hydropower facilities, from design to implementation and including maintenance, operation, short and long-term management and modernisation.
Deeply rooted in the region with more than 100 years of experience and committed to sustainable development, the three subsidiaries of the Group work closely together to guarantee reactivity, efficiency and innovative techniques for their customers, improving their production and optimising their equipment. Together, ENDEL, the SHEM and TRACTEBEL have created the Group’s first centre of hydropower expertise in the southwest.
The offer is being officially rolled out as of 28 June, on the occasion of the France Hydro Electricité congress held in Toulouse. The SHEM invited TRACTEBEL and ENDEL to its stand. The offer will also be deployed at the 1st Mountain Business Summit, which takes place in Tarbes from 5 to 8 July. To formalise their new commercial offer, ENDEL, the SHEM and TRACTEBEL have developed a brochure aimed at small independent producers, local authorities and their industrial partners.
The collaboration is an excellent example of the strength of our Group, as well as its ability to harness energies and capitalise on the complementary nature of its activities to create new offers, provide new services and win over new customers.
We wish this new alliance every success!
