Legendre Energy, actively involved in energy transition in France and abroad
Created in 2007, Legendre Energy brings together all energy-related activities of the Legendre Group (€850 million – 2,300 employees).
Founded on the belief that renewable energy production and consumption control are the solutions to our reliance on fossil energy resources, Legendre Energy works hand-in-hand with the group’s other two business lines, i.e. construction and real estate.
As a result, the creation of Legendre Energy strengthens the company’s strategy by integrating energy efficiency into all projects.
Legendre Energy, with a registered office in Rennes (France), currently employs approximately fifty people.
The company boasts more than 650 references and works with a variety of clients:
- Local authorities
- Businesses
- Industries
- Hypermarkets and supermarkets
- Medical professionals
- Farmers
- Homeowner associations
- Energy producers
Energy is at the heart of buildings and territories
The energy sector is undergoing actual changes, with the growth in the renewable energy market which is reaching full technological and economic maturity. The energy bill, which constitutes a substantial part of the operating costs of a building or infrastructure, is now fully integrated into a business strategy or into the budget of a local authority.
A comprehensive range of energy solutions for our clients
For more than ten years, Legendre Energy has committed to a clean economy by optimising the energy potential of our natural resources.
Legendre Energy has developed an offer dedicated to the development of new services to make buildings energy efficient. From design through to operation, down to construction and financing, the company provides its clients with a comprehensive, turnkey offer. To this end, Legendre Energy is structured around two business lines:
These two areas of expertise create actual solutions to manage energy as a whole and on the scale of a building, even a district: reduce, control consumption, and maximise the production of energy from renewable sources.
