Nexans : strengthens its long-standing partnership with Eiffage for the energy transition and the electrification of the future

Since 2014, Nexans has been designing and manufacturing electric vehicle charging stations that integrate management and supervision services. It has already delivered more than 20,000 charging points in France, supporting the collective effort to reduce CO2 emissions.

Nexans hence confirms its broader goal of creating the electricity of tomorrow and being a player in the construction of a low-carbon Europe.

This ambition follows on from actions already undertaken with Eiffage, in particular in the development of solar energy - an area that has seen continual growth since the inauguration of the Cestas photovoltaic power plant in 2015, the largest in Europe at the time (300 MWc of installed power producing the equivalent annual consumption of 150,000 households).

Given that 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions come from the electricity sector, primary energy sources must move towards renewable energy. Solar power, for example, currently accounts for around 2% of the French energy mix. However, this sector is expected to see exponential growth, and is now a priority investment for the planet.

Nexans is also working to bolster the competitiveness, reliability and sustainability of solar power - one of the key solutions for the electrification of the future, as well as the use of electric vehicles.
