In 2022, Acciona Energía made its entry into the French market by acquiring Eqinov, a company that specialized in energy efficiency services across three main business lines. These services included financing for energy efficiency projects, energy consumption flexibility valorization, and energy efficiency consulting services. The acquisition of Eqinov was an important milestone for Acciona Energía as it allowed them to expand their presence and offerings in the French renewable energy landscape.
Acciona Energía plans to focus on ramping up activities such as self-consumption, energy as a service, and energy performance contracting in the French market. With its headquarters in Paris, the company is well positioned to leverage its resources and expertise to enhance its presence and offerings in this promising landscape. Rafael Mateo, CEO of Acciona Energía, stated that the company has identified potential investment opportunities in energy transition and aims to triple its turnover in France by 2030. He also highlighted the country’s progressive policies and forward-thinking approach towards renewable energy as reasons for Acciona’s interest in expanding its range of energy services in France.
The combination of Eqinov’s energy and decarbonization services with Acciona Energía’s renewable energy solutions and self-consumption projects will allow the company to offer a comprehensive suite of services to clients across a wide range of industries. The portfolio of over 3,100 clients serves as proof of this commitment to serving customers across different sectors. Acciona Energía is focused on leveraging these resources to enhance its presence and offerings in the promising French renewable energy landscape while also driving innovation and sustainability efforts forward.
