The French Renewable Energy Trade Association gathered 520 companies, representing more than 200 000 jobs and 25 billion euros turnover. It represents directly and indirectly thousands of industrials, large companies, SME’s, R&D centers from all of the renewable energy channels: biofuels, biomass, wood, biogas, renewable marine power, onshore and offshore wind power, geothermal energy, hydroelectricity, heat pumps, solar photovoltaics, thermal and concentrated solar power. The primary missions of the SER are :

–          To develop the share of renewable energy in France’s energy production and to promote the interests of the French private sector.

–          To participate in the creation and implementation of legislative and regulatory framework. In constant contact with political authorities, ministerial cabinets, and the administration, the SER follows, from day-to-day, the discussions and work of the Assemblée Nationale (National Assembly) and the Sénat (Senate) and informs its members.

–          To represent the French private sectors in the discussion with international and national financial institutions, foreign authorities or international organizations (European Commission, IRENA, International Solar Alliance, IEA,..)

–          To support its members and facilitate their development in France and abroad. Through the organization of collective missions, country information meetings, BtoB meetings, conferences, seminars, and forums in partnership with local authorities, the SER also boasts its experience of implementing development policy for renewable energy projects.

–          To assist SER’s counterparts in least developed countries in their maturation, position papers elaboration, key founding events organization, knowledge sharing in order to ease and speed local energy transition through renewables.

European operator of a lightning detection network, Météorage provides professionals with lightning risk prevention services. Météorage supports customers in France, in Europe and internationally.

Specialized in the mitigation of lightning risk, and assistance to its management, we work with many sectors of activity, including wind energy, industry, insurance oil depots, refineries, network operators, etc.
 
Our services do not require any installation or maintenance for our users, and allow them to cover all levels of lightning risks, with the possibility of:
– being alerted of the arrival of a storm on their site,
– visualizing and following the lightning activity in real time, on 1 or more geolocated sites, and the representation of storm cells.
– realizing reports following a stormy episode.
 
The unmatched efficiency of our network, proven by several recognized scientifical studies, enables us to provide some high-level services throughout Europe.  We detect 98% of the entire lightning activity throughout Europe and our average current location accuracy is under 100 meters.

Based in Plaisir, South West of Paris, HENSOLDT France is a fully owned subsidiary of HENSOLDT Group, a world leading sensor manufacturer for aerospace, ground and naval applications. HENSOLDT France developed AirSentinel, a solution for aircraft detection lighting systems (ADLS, BNK).

AirSentinel is a passive receiver. It detects aircraft approaching the wind farm area and representing a potential hazard. It activates the obstruction lights until the aircraft is away from the risk zone. The win farm area can remain dark most of the night, avoiding light pollution at night and without compromise on flight safety.

AirSentinel complies with German Regulation BMVI-LF15-20200424-SF-A006.

AirSentinel is one of many sensors, developed by HENSOLDT for superior performance in any environment. Our sensors portfolio detects a wide range of objects and targets based on primary and secondary radars, optronics, electronic warfare, avionics and cyber technology.

HENSOLDT AG is a leading company in the European defence and security industry. Based near Munich, the company develops complete sensor solutions for defence and security applications. With more than 6,400 employees, HENSOLDT achieved a turnover of 1.7 billion euros in 2022. HENSOLDT is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

France Energies Marines is a centre of pooled expertise in offshore renewable energy that has gained recognition for its valuable achievements since 2012 for the European industrial sector. To accomplish this, it draws upon its in-house talents (85 employees), its network of industrial and academic experts and at sea infrastructures (English Channel, Atlantic Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea). Its mission is to define, set up and apply the scientific and technical environment required to overcome technological viability barriers, while satisfying environmental integration criteria.

France Energies Marines stands out for its cross-disciplinary approach, which provides the entire sector with the innovative and validated tools needed to reduce the cost of producing energy and financing operational projects. The Institute develops differentiating and holistic approaches to reduce the time needed to build offshore farms. The Institute is built around a public-private partnership, bringing together 27 members who are key players in the energy sector in France and abroad.

Research and innovation are firmly rooted at the heart of the Institute’s work, which is organised into five focus areas:

– Setting up, coordinating and operating investment programme, and contributing to national or European R&D projects along with key players of the industry
– Delivery of research and expertise services,
– Running of the national resource centre RESCORE,
– Creation of a national offshore observation network,
– Participation in expert panels and networks.

Atlantique Offshore Energy is Chantiers de l’Atlantique Business Unit specialized in tailor-made solutions for specific Engineering or turnkey EPCIM projects (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Maintenance), with a dedicated focus on Electrical Offshore Substations. We benefit from major competitive assets to answer our customer’s expectations worldwide:
–             Expert teams in design and production of marine installations
–             Project management, focusing on safety, quality and delivery times
–             Decades of know-how as technology integrator
–             Large industrial and logistical capacities with direct access to the open sea
 
We have a strong experience designing complex technical projects, such as ships, modules and complete Electrical Offshore Substations (AC and DC / Topsides and Foundations). We developed and standardized a basic and detailed design process to ensure on time delivery of large projects in a multi discipline environment reviewing and optimizing, at each step of this process, its main assumptions to deliver best-in-class products. Our owned engineering resources, localized in our production site, benefit from strong feedbacks from recent projects. It secures a high level of quality and an appropriate level of maturity to all the design deliverables, as well as robust integration of lessons learned and potential optimizations.
 
2 GW of Renewable Energy is currently connected to the Grid thanks to the Electrical Offshore Susbtations we already designed, constructed and commissioned, and another 2 GW will be added with the projects we will soon deliver.
