Participate in the financing of the development of 11 photovoltaic projects in France!
After a successful first portfolio financed on our platform at the end of 2024, E-Sweet Energies, a French company based in Lyon, aims to raise funds for a second development portfolio of 11 photovoltaic projects located in metropolitan France. This portfolio of agrivoltaic projects and ground-mounted solar plants represents a total capacity of 56 MWc.
E-Sweet Energies is seeking to raise €2,100,000 to finance the development costs of this portfolio. The funds raised will be used, among other things, to finance the studies and administrative procedures necessary to bring the projects to the “ready-to-build” stage.
The estimated production at this stage of development is approximately 78,500 MWh, equivalent to the consumption of nearly 16,400 households or 36,200 inhabitants.
*Average annual consumption of 4,770 kWh per household excluding heating and 2.2 people per household (INSEE)

Impact
Project owners
E-Sweet Energies is a French company that has been developing photovoltaic projects since its creation in 2013 by Olivier Mormiche, Nicolas Bodereau, and David Callegari, three entrepreneurs with significant experience in solar energy.
Their approach focuses on all stages of project development, from land acquisition to obtaining the necessary permits, up to the implementation of projects ready to build intended to be taken over by investors.
The company leads various projects, adapted to local contexts, with a mix of classic photovoltaic power plants and agrivoltaic projects.
The latter combine energy production and agricultural activities, thus allowing for dual use of land. This diversified model is part of a desire for local anchoring and positive impact on territories.
To date, E-Sweet Energies has a project pipeline in development of 550 MWc, and has already sold 45 MWc of projects since 2019.
E-Sweet Energies currently has a team of 17 employees distributed between management, land development, and project development.
