Occitanie: A Strategic Region for France’s Energy Transition
In Occitanie, the energy transition is emerging as a key driver of economic transformation. With exceptional sunshine, sustained growth in renewable energy, and a particularly dynamic research ecosystem, the region is seeing the emergence of new industries dedicated to decarbonization. In this context, industrial transformation is centered primarily around its two major metropolitan areas, Toulouse and Montpellier, which are true hubs of innovation and economic appeal.
Faced with the growing complexity of regions—including the energy transition, the continuity of public services, the digitization of services, and the reindustrialization of regions—local governments and industrial companies must tackle numerous challenges. In this context, and specifically in Occitanie, Equans France acts as an industrial and regional integrator: a single entity capable of designing, securing, connecting, operating, and maintaining buildings, sensitive industrial sites, and strategic infrastructure. From the deployment of electric mobility to innovative and high-performance buildings, including the industrial and nuclear sectors, Equans France draws on the expertise of its 2,900 employees in Occitanie to operate across a wide range of fields. Energy, electrification of end-uses, security, HVAC, power grids, and maintenance: this multidisciplinary approach enables the group to support complex and strategic projects for local communities.
This press kit offers a concrete overview of these initiatives through landmark projects from the past and present in the building, industrial, and infrastructure sectors.
Press Kit: Equans in Occitanie
A key player at the heart of industrial, energy, and digital transitions
“ Occitanie is establishing itself as a leading region in the energy transition. By 2024, nearly half of the region’s electricity consumption will come from renewable sources. With abundant sunshine, it is also France’s second-largest region in terms of installed solar capacity, which already covers more than 14% of its electricity consumption. At Equans France, we leverage these strengths to support the development of low-carbon projects—including carbon-free mobility, transportation infrastructure, and the modernization of energy and industrial facilities—all aimed at fostering more sustainable communities. ”
