Developing renewable energies

Dear difteurs,

This is a first in the Centrales Villageoises network: 3 Savoyard Centrales Villageoises, EnergiCimes, Perle and Le Solaret, have decided to join forces to create a shared job.

This experience is also intended to be inspirational for other collectives, who are looking to take a new step in their development and see shared employment as a solution for mutualizing resources, not just financial ones. It's an opportunity for the Centrales Villageoises to strengthen ties and collaboration, drawing on each other's strengths and skills.

This idea is carrying real enthusiasm among the three Savoyard collectives, who have welcomed their first employee in January 2025.

A big thank you to you, dear difteurs, for your invaluable support and donations ✨

Dear difteurs,

We wish you a very happy new year 2025 ✨

Collective self-consumption is a new energy model that enables local sharing of renewable energy between neighboring producers and consumers. In other words, it gives electricity producers, such as those with solar panels, the opportunity to distribute energy directly to nearby consumers.

On a technical level, nothing changes: producers and consumers remain connected to the power grid in the same way. But economically and socially, the impact is considerable! This approach offers a new way of consuming and producing electricity, more local and often more supportive.

Projects across the Centrales Villageoises network

The Centrales Villageoises network already hasseveral collective self-consumption operations in service, supplying communal buildings, craftsmen, shopkeepers and private individuals. There are five operations in service at the start of 2025, and more than a dozen in development, due to see the light of day later this year!

We'll keep you posted on progress!
