The Artelia Foundation unveils the 5 winners of its call for projects "Acting for an inclusive energy transition"
The Artelia Foundation is announcing its support for five actors committed to an inclusive energy transition. Our ambition is to support projects that contribute to the fight against energy poverty by improving energy efficiency and the access to renewable and sustainable energy for vulnerable populations.
The selection committee, made up of an external expert from Schneider Group and Artelia employees, met in June to select 5 winners from over 40 projects received. In addition to the environmental impact, the jury paid particular attention to the social benefits of the projects. The winners will receive financial support from the Foundation totalling €80,000, as well as technical assistance from Artelia Group volunteers in the form of skills based philanthropy or solidarity leave.
Congratulations!
- Geres
👉 Support for twenty companies creating local jobs as part of a sustainable energy transition
📍 Benin, Africa

The three-year project in Benin involves providing businesses in rural areas with appropriate low-carbon technical solutions aimed at energy efficiency. These solutions should maximise the economic and social impact of the entrepreneurs supported.
- Gret
👉 Construction of an "energy house" dedicated to the supply of renewable energy
📍 Madagascar, Africa

The aim of the project is to supply electricity from a solar platform to public facilities (school and health centre) and the inhabitants of the village of Sahanimira in Madagascar.
- ESF
👉 Improving access to healthcare by electrifying health buildings
📍 Burkina Faso, Africa
🔗 https://electriciens-sans-frontieres.org/
The project aims to improve access to healthcare for the inhabitants of Sangoulema by electrifying health buildings with solar panels.
- Laafi
👉 Creation of a solar school
📍 Burkina Faso, Africa
🔗 https://www.laafi.com/
The project involves developing access to renewable energy by creating a solar school in partnership with the University of Koudougou in Burkina Faso. Teachers and students will be trained at the school in the deployment of photovoltaic systems, and the local community will be made aware of the issues surrounding energy consumption.
- Réseau Eco Habitat
👉 Deployment of an online training course dedicated to energy efficiency in home renovation
📍 France
🔗 https://www.reseau-ecohabitat.fr/
The project involves the roll-out of online training to enable people with a variety of profiles (project leaders, volunteers in the field, social action professionals, technicians) to improve their skills in developing comprehensive renovation programmes. These efficient renovations will be carried out for people in situations of extreme energy poverty.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Fabio Lunazzi, Antoine Clay and Marie Castella for their contribution to the selection committee.
