Created at the end of 2009, CVE is a French multi-energy, multi-country renewable energy producer. CVE develops, finances, builds and operates photovoltaic power plants, biogas units and hydrogen production units. Our vision is to produce renewable energy in a decentralised way and sell it locally to meet the needs of businesses, local authorities and the agricultural sector. CVE has been a mission-driven company since 2022, with a purpose driven by its teams: "Putting people and the planet at the center of tomorrow’s energy". With €866 million invested in our assets, and a capacity of 640 MWp enabling us to produce 1.1 TWh in a full year, CVE is experiencing strong growth. Today, CVE employs over 400 people (including 290 in France), divided between sales, technical (engineering, construction, operation), administrative and financial missions, all committed to a unique entrepreneurial adventure at the service of the energy transition. By placing people at the heart of its project, CVE has forged its corporate culture around 3 pillars: individual and collective fulfillment, commitment and excellence. CVE's ambition is to build up a 2.4 GW capacity fleet by 2027, and to become a key player in renewable energies with a focus on short supply chains for businesses and local authorities. http://www.cvegroup.com http://www.cvenorthamerica.com
