À propos de Smart Energies Transition

Smart Energies is a fast-growing independent power producer specialized in the development, the financing, the construction and the operation of medium-sized solar projects in Europe. In September 2024, the group owns and operates more than 550 solar sites in France, Italy, Greece and Nordic countries, has 160 MWp in operation or under construction and employs 100 people. The group also develops a pipeline of storage plants in France and Italy.

Smart Energies, a mission-driven company, mainly develops projects on already artificialized land such as buildings, parking lots or small polluted plots, with strong local economic impact for the thousands of farmers, landlords, SMEs and craftsmen who are part of the adventure.

Smart Energies has just raised (May 2024) €87 million to accelerate its development, enabling the future construction of more than 1,000 projects over the next 4 years in Europe. This new round of financing shows the quality of the teams and will enable the company to step up the deployment of its strategy, which is unique in Europe, based on medium-sized solar and storage projects with a minimum land footprint.

In this context of strong development, Smart Energies is strengthening its international team and is recruiting a Project Developer within its Italian team based in Brescia (Italy).
