Since its creation in 2010, the Énergie Partagée Label has been the only certification dedicated to citizen-led renewable energy projects. Known for its high standards, it rewards initiatives that combine:

✅ Local benefit

✅ Community-driven momentum

✅ Shared governance

✅ Ethical and citizen-based finance

✅ Environmental respect

Recently, major collaborative work involving 70 stakeholders (citizens, local authorities, public-private companies, renewable energy developers, etc.) has enhanced the label by adding two new criteria:

🔹 Citizen engagement from the development phase: ensuring that residents are informed and involved to strengthen local governance.

🔹 Support from local authorities: encouraging dialogue with territories to maximize economic and social benefits.

Launched in September 2023, this effort has refined the tools that support 156 labeled (and developing) projects, backed by €48 million invested by over 7,300 committed citizens.

This label is becoming a true compass for accelerating an energy transition rooted in local territories and driven by citizen collectives.

Laval Hospital takes a step toward energy independence with two photovoltaic canopies installed on its parking lot, funded through citizen investment. With a capacity of 300 kWp, these installations will generate 331,000 kWh per year—covering 5% of the hospital’s electricity needs. 🌍🔋

Énergie Partagée, the leading network for citizen-led energy transition in France, supports this innovative project alongside Énergie Mayenne and See You Sun, through a citizen-funded model. This initiative is one of 21 planned solar sites in Mayenne, with a total investment of €6.8 million, open to individuals who want to invest in local and sustainable energy. 💪

This shared governance model allows citizens to become co-actors in the energy transition by directly contributing to local renewable energy production. A great example of how collective mobilization can speed up the shift toward sustainable energy autonomy!

Since 2011, La Poudrerie has been revolutionizing theater by putting the residents of Sevran and northeastern Seine-Saint-Denis at the heart of each creation.

With 120 performances annually in living rooms and parks, La Poudrerie invites everyone to reflect, debate, and share a convivial moment on key social issues. The initiative not only removes financial barriers by offering free shows but also strengthens bonds between generations, neighborhoods, and cultures.
