Communauté Provence Énergies
Turning isolated energy bills into collective bargaining power.
communauteprovenceenergies.com ↗The ground
A company facing its energy supplier alone has no leverage. It signs what it is offered, often with nothing to compare it against, and finds out the real cost a year later. The 43 founding companies of the community report an average annual electricity bill of €48,628.
Taken separately, those bills count for nothing. Put together, they become a volume a supplier listens to.
What we built
A community of businesses across southern France, free to join and with no commitment, built around three missions: group purchasing of electricity and gas, support for renewable energy producers, and local energy sharing through collective self-consumption and patronage.
The public site carries membership, the missions, the FAQ and the partners: CPME 13, Ambassadeurs de Provence, Sacrés Français, BRSE Innovation, and more than forty listed energy suppliers.
What Edicore does here
We created the project and we run it. Marc Dollié is the named contact for outreach and events on the site itself: the community is not a showcase, it is ongoing work.

What it shows
The move is the same one we offer companies: take scattered information that is worth nothing while it stays apart, and assemble it until it produces a decision. Here it is energy bills. In your company it will be your documents, your conversations and your processes.
