Énergie Partagée embodies this approach: “We promote and support renewable energy projects governed by local stakeholders — communities and citizens. […] A key advantage: citizen-led models increase project acceptance,” says Alexandra Lafont, Regional Network Manager at Énergie Partagée.
The association fosters local governance and solidarity-based investment by involving residents at every level, ensuring collective interest comes first.

Maxime Durand and Bertrand Pullès, respectively Investment Director and Associate Director at EXTENDAM, said: “We’re excited to invest in this premium-located asset. Our value-add investment strategy combined with Sohoma’s expertise should ensure a bright future for this new addition to the Orso Hotels collection”.
