Occitanie: a strategic region for the French energy transition
In Occitanie, the energy transition is becoming a key driver of economic transformation. Boosted by an exceptional amount of sunshine, sustained growth in renewable energies and a particularly dynamic research ecosystem, the region is seeing the emergence of new sectors dedicated to decarbonization. Against this backdrop, the region's industrial transformation is being organized around its two major metropolises, Toulouse and Montpellier, which are veritable hubs of innovation and attractiveness.
Faced with the growing complexity of territories: energy transition, continuity of public services, digitalization of uses, reindustrialization of territories; local authorities and industrialists are faced with numerous challenges. In this context and in Occitanie, Equans France acts as an industrial and territorial integrator: a single player capable of designing, securing, connecting, operating and maintaining buildings, sensitive industrial sites and strategic infrastructures. From the deployment of electric mobility to innovative, high-performance buildings, industry and nuclear power, Equans France draws on the expertise of its 2,900 employees to operate in a wide variety of fields. Whether it's energy, electrification, safety, climate control, electrical networks or maintenance, this multidisciplinary approach enables the group to support complex projects that are strategic for the region.
This press kit offers a concrete panorama of these actions through emblematic projects of yesterday and today in the building, industry and infrastructure sectors.
Press kit: Equans in Occitania
A major player at the heart of industrial, energy and digital transitions
“ Occitanie is establishing itself as a benchmark region in terms of energy transition. By 2024, almost half of the electricity consumed in the region will come from renewable sources. Benefiting from an abundance of sunshine, it is also the second region in France in terms of installed solar power capacity, already covering more than 14% of its electricity consumption. At Equans France, we draw on these assets to support the development of low-carbon projects: low-carbon mobility, transport infrastructure and the modernization of energy and industrial facilities, in the service of more sustainable territories. ”
