Investing in a better world

Harmon'Yeu encourages citizens and local actors to consume less and better. The Harmon'Yeu project is an experimental collective self-consumption project designed by ENGIE, in partnership with the Ile d'Yeu town hall, three local institutions and thanks to the will of its inhabitants. Collective self-consumption allows a group of consumers and producers of electricity to share the energy produced locally thanks to photovoltaic panels installed nearby. In the Ker Pissot neighborhood on the island of Yeu, 23 individual houses (8 of which belong to a local social landlord) share the electricity produced by the solar panels installed on the roofs of 5 of them for a total installed capacity of 23.7 kWp. A real energy community! The Harmon'Yeu project is fully in line with the energy transition, through the development of low-carbon and local renewable energies, while allowing the citizens involved in the process to make savings on their electricity bill.

The crowdfunding operations initiated by the EDF Group to finance solar and wind energy projects in France have raised more than €7 million. This participative financing has been collected since 2015 thanks to the investment of 3,700 citizens in some thirty renewable energy projects. This innovative method of financing is an essential lever to meet the growing demand from individuals to get involved in the realisation of renewable energy projects near their homes.
