PowerCorner

Offers reliable, sustainable and affordable energy services through off-grid mini-grids serving rural customers in developing countries. PowerCorner is an internal start-up within the ENGIE Group with a long-term service commitment towards its customers.  The primary focus of PowerCorner is to support income-generating activities, thereby sustainably improving the living conditions of its customers.

Sustainable cooling for a warming planet

An effective industrial-scale cooling solution to significantly reduce carbon emissions. With traditional air-conditioning systems proving inefficient by virtue of their design, urban cooling is the solution for developers and end users who are looking for a sustainable, reliable and highly efficient way to cool buildings. Urban cooling also pairs very well with renewable energy production.

Solar Community

A solar power plant whose electricity is shared by several users, thus enabling more people to access affordable solar power. Customers can hire a solar power "share", so they can switch over to solar power without needing a specific roof… or any kind of roof at all. This makes it an option for people who rent the property in which they live or work.

District cooling Systems

Since 1991, ENGIE has been developing and operating one of the largest district cooling systems in the world – CLIMESPACE in Paris. Spread over ten production sites, all of which are powered exclusively using renewable electricity, the system generates cooled water which it supplies to more than 600 clients (hotels, offices, retailers, etc.) – via a 73-km long underground network. District Cooling Systems generate an equivalent cooling effect and can reduce water and electricity consumption by up to 65% compared with stand-alone plants.

Vertuoz Pilot

Optimises energy consumption, creating a balance between occupants' comfort and energy savings. It is made up of connected objects installed on site which send measurements read remotely over the Internet to an artificial intelligence algorithm. This algorithm then simultaneously factors in site conditions, consumption targets and various other constraints which can be configured. It then sends a list of actions and orders to actuators installed on site which control heating, lighting and other data on which they are required to perform operations.

Livin’

Designed to meet the needs of urban infrastructure managers, Livin’ is an urban data management platform for monitoring, managing, viewing and creating value from data from connected infrastructure. Livin’ software goes beyond data aggregation to improve efficiency in urban environments and to help engage with citizens.

Heliasol

Converting the sun’s rays into electricity means being able to meet the energy needs of the world’s population from an infinite primary resource: with photovoltaic solar, there is no risk of depleting the world’s reserves. And using the organic solar films developed by start-up Heliatek, flexible, thin and recyclable, everyone can produce their own green electricity.

DERMS Mobile Storage

Modular, flexible and patented battery solution. This battery fits into a container that can be moved around to meet temporary energy needs – for an event, during electricity consumption peaks or on a construction site.

ELENA Piscines

An innovative, patented solution for pools and aquatic parcs which reconciles comfort, air quality and energy efficiency. ELENA Piscines can easily be installed with any existing air-conditioning systems. ELENA Piscines generates immediate and significant savings thanks to sensors located in the swimming pool's hall which measure temperature, hygrometry and condensation. The solution also helps preserving the equipment and the building and reducing energy consumption for air treatment.

FAST charging

This solution offers a cost-driven smart power management tool and a cost-competitive battery storage system with fast chargers. This type of integration dynamically allocates power resources to different chargers, depending on real-time charging situations and offers optimum user experience, flexibility and additional profits.

BIMPRICE.COM

A free simulator to instantly calculate the price and delivery time of buildings and infrastructures digital models and then order them online. Building Information Model (BIM) allows to design, build and maintain a new smart building or turn an existing building into a 'smart' one. With BIMPRICE.COM order a digital model online and have it digitally delivered within days for small projects to a couple of weeks for large ones.

TARGEO

Geothermal energy provides heat and cold in a decarbonized, non-intermittent and renewable way. TARGEO aims at enabling territories to access the commercial potential of this green energy. The solution makes the economic/technical points of interest of residential geothermal heat pump solutions actionable at a building level (digital guide map) and provides the co-investments and services necessary to carry out installation campaigns within the framework of a contracting model.

BeeWe

Better production of green energy also means better use of spare parts. BeeWe is a collaborative economy platform where energy production operators pool their stocks of spare parts. Instead of refrabricking new ones, everyone uses the existing ones, and saves time! BeeWe imports stocks of industrial parts (electrical, mechanical, control system...) belonging either to ENGIE or to its partners, suppliers or customers. The dormant stocks then become accessible, and in case of a breakdown somewhere, the necessary part is quickly found and sent by another member of the community not using it in the short term.

Solarimo

Enables property owners to invest in green energy so that their tenants can benefit from it through a simple offer: the owner invests in a photovoltaic installation on his own roof. This installation is built and operated by Solarimo, which pays a royalty to the owner, providing an attractive return on investment. Thanks to this project, tenants benefit from low-cost local green energy, thus avoiding network costs. Solarimo thus brings solar energy to 50% of the European population living in apartment buildings. The ENGIE start-up offers a "full service" to apartment building owners and sells cheap green solar energy to tenants.

Charge & Go

Managing the load of a large fleet of electric buses is complex for operators. Charge & Go, a plug and play solution, allows up to 20 buses to be charged simultaneously, and up to 40 buses to be connected! This innovation therefore contributes to the simple and ecological transition of cities to electric mobility. The Charge & Go products are modular, capable of recharging from different energy sources, adaptable to different bus manufacturers, and ready to use, thus avoiding major investments in infrastructure. This solution adapts to the users' environment, budget and the evolution of your city.

Eyetech Remote Assistance

This remote assistance platform has been developed to help share knowledge, resolve problems faster and improve the quality of services. Eyetech Remote Assistance is the first Android hands-free laptop for workers in the industry. Thanks to its voice command, support is easily available when needed, avoiding travel and labor costs. The "I see you see" method is used by a remote technician to request assistance from a specialized technician or a product supplier. The system is used to perform building inspections and highlight problems before and after a contract is signed.

La Belle Batterie

First certification service for electric vehicle batteries. It contributes to unlocking the used electric car market, by offering individuals and professionals accurate, independent and transparent information on the state of health of their vehicles' batteries.

Darwin

Digital platform for analyzing data on the production of the Group's wind and solar farms around the world. It allows us to increase their profitability and optimize their efficiency, in order to reduce CO₂ emissions as much as possible.

Solar Quest

Efficient heating technology and energy management system. This heater fine tunes to users’ needs while its battery charges off peak or with renewable energy surplus and discharges to prevent it from consuming power during peak hours. Solar Quest’s purpose is to develop the V2 of heater, able to reinject power stored in the battery into buildings’ grid to power other devices. Solar Quest features are heating, storing and its embedded intelligence. With its infrared radiant panel provide an instantaneous warmth feeling while ensuring a stable temperature and optimal comfort. Finally, the device learns from consumer's habits to optimize power consumption without reducing comfort.
