Renewable energy

The energy division of the Artea Group is at the heart of our ecosystem and our vision.

The ARTEA Group was created in 2001 with the aim of reinventing commercial real estate and its services. To do this we have created our own ecosystem.

  • Since 2007

    With the creation of Artesol and by investing in renewable energies, we have placed the protection of the environment at the heart of our concerns.

  • In 2009

    We inaugurated the first positive energy building in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

  • In 2015

    With our subsidiary Dream Energy, ARTEA became a supplier and producer of renewable energies.

  • In 2019

    In Sophia Antipolis, we opened France's first private Smart Grid.

We are going even further in the area of energy autonomy and plan to supply all of our buildings with renewable energy produced in France by 2025.

  • In 2020

    Our challenge is to control the carbon footprint on all of our sites and individual buildings: thanks to our "Smart Grid Generation" buildings, we have managed to reduce our primary energy consumption by a factor of four.

  • By 2030

    We are aiming for carbon neutrality, as well as the deployment of our "Triple Zero Strategy": zero carbon, zero fossil. zero nuclear.

PRIVATE SMART-GRID DEVELOPER

THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMART-GRIDS BY OUR GROUP ENABLES US TO PROVIDE A GLOBAL OFFERING CONSISTENT WITH THE ARTEA DNA WHITHIN ALL OF OUR DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS.

The private smart-grid is an electrical system which, thanks to a local infrastructure, is able to manage the distribution of energy between the different buildings in a defined space. Thanks to our different bricks, this system allows an optimization of the private electricity distribution network.

The ARTEA Group's objective is to deploy, as in the ARTEPARC in Sophia Antipolis, in all its future ARTEPARCs, Smart-grids for collective self-consumption.

Our overall objective is to improve energy efficiency and more specifically :

  1. Reduce the energy imports of our ARTEPARCs from the grid

  2. Maximise the autonomy and energy independence of our ARTEPARCs thanks to our photovoltaic power plants.

  3. Meeting the challenge of energy transition and electric mobility

  4. Responding to our "triple zero" strategy: zero carbon, zero fossil, zero nuclear

PRODUCER AND SUPPLIER OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

THE OBJECTIVE OF TRIPLE-ZERO ENERGY IS THE CENTRAL GOAL OF ARTEA GROUP'S INNOVATION STRATEGY.

Thanks to our subsidiary Dream Energy, our model consists in organizing the energy transition of our ecosystem and that of our customers towards a world with low CO2 emissions. To achieve this, we propose a decentralized consumption model, thanks to intelligent, local and controlled infrastructures. Our smart-grids and our ecosystem present from upstream (production) to downstream (on-site supply) is a unique model in terms of its degree of progress and integration adapted to real estate.

Thanks to our activity as an energy supplier, we are able to offer an energy mix between local photovoltaic energy coupled with storage, and a delocalized energy mainly hydraulic and 100% renewable. Our subsidiary Dream Energy manages a portfolio of assets consisting of photovoltaic power plants and hydroelectric dams for the production of renewable energy. This company operates in the fields of photovoltaic and hydraulic energy.

The energy thus produced without any environmental impact will soon be distributed to all our buildings. This offer will initially be deployed on real estate complexes developed or renovated by ARTEA, but will then be offered to other property owners wishing to engage in the energy transition. Any organisation (company, landowner, local authority, public service) will thus be able to make the choice to make a concrete commitment by choosing a supplier offering a 100% green energy offer.

THE 3RD GENERATION BUILDING

OUR GOAL IS TO INVENT THE SELF-CONTAINED BUILDING. SINCE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SELF-CONSUMPTION, OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO OFFER OUR CLIENTS AN ECONOMICALLY COHERENT BUILDING THAT IS ABLE TO HAVE AN ENERGY AUTONOMY OF BETWEEN 40 AND 70% DEPENDING ON ITS CONFIGURATION AND THE REGION.

Our first model, a 2500 m² building, has been in operation since 2015. Thanks to its solar power plant, energy storage equipment and an intelligent control system operating with a PLC, this building has seen the energy needs of its common equipment drop by 65%. For example, our solar air-conditioning technology controlled by our Greencore® controller allows the solar power plant to directly supply the heat pump, energy storage systems or the building according to the needs of the operation. This performance is the result of developments carried out by our subsidiary ARTESOL, which had a patent granted in 2015.

Our goal is to structure energy infrastructures that can adapt in real time to consumer needs through our artificial intelligence-driven storage systems.

Therefore, our achievements integrating our technology are able to reduce a building's primary energy consumption by a factor of four.
