VINCI Energies

Profile

VINCI’s Energy business line grew out of the combination of VINCI Energies and Cegelec in 2010, and was broadened by the creation of VINCI Facilities. At the beginning of 2012 it took the name of VINCI Energies.
Businesses and public authorities draw on the extensive know-how of its 60,000 employees to deploy, equip, operate and optimise their energy, transport and communications infrastructure, industrial facilities and buildings.

VINCI Energies combines expertise in its own technology areas – electrical power, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), mechanical engineering, and information and communication technologies – with expert knowledge of its customers’ businesses. It leverages these capabilities to develop high value added solutions to address customers’ demands for efficiency, reliability and safety.

These solutions support customers throughout their projects’ lifecycle, from project engineering and execution to maintenance, operation and facilities management. Thanks to an exceptionally dense network of 1,500 business units in 40 countries (20 in Europe), VINCI Energies combines global reach with local service. As a key player in energy efficiency and renewable energy, VINCI Energies’ capacity to integrate complex systems is a key component of VINCI’s overall offer.


“With the first full year in its new configuration completed, 2011 substantiated the strategic rationale for the VINCI Energies-Cegelec combination. The move broadened the business line’s range of expertise and geographical coverage and boosted its resilience and economic performance in generally buoyant markets...”

Outlook

VINCI Energies’ order book totalled €6.4 billion at the end of 2011, a 2% increase over 12 months, allowing it to view 2012 with confidence. Leaving aside the state of the economy, demand for the business activities of VINCI Energies – electric power generation, thermal energy and information technologies – should remain strong in the medium and long term in all Group markets.

Infrastructure. VINCI Energies is an active player in all major electricity industry sectors – nuclear, thermal, photovoltaic and wind power – as well as in oil and gas. It should therefore benefit from the wave of major construction and renovation programmes to boost capacity and upgrade networks at a time of fast-growing demand for energy, tougher safety standards and increasing deployment of renewable energies. Transport infrastructure programmes, meanwhile, should showcase VINCI Energies’ broad array of expertise, especially through integrated projects involving the VINCI Group as a whole.

Industry. Investment in new manufacturing plant in the emerging economies, together with programmes to upgrade existing facilities in the mature economies aimed at boosting productivity, safety and traceability while reducing environmental impacts, should stimulate business activity. VINCI Energies should leverage its knowledge of industrial processes in the most resilient and fastest-growing sectors such as the food and beverage industry, as well as in chemicals and pharmaceuticals, aerospace, oil and gas, and environmental services.

Service sector. The search for energy efficiency, often in response to new regulations, should give a powerful boost to investment in new low-energy buildings, and in renovating and improving the insulation of existing buildings. Energy efficiency challenges, and those connected with buildings’ various functions, should act as a powerful spur to construction and modernisation programmes for public amenities such as hospitals, schools, and entertainment and cultural facilities. In the private sector, investment should also focus on technically advanced structures such as logistics bases and IT facilities, and on new generation green office buildings. Increasing demand for integrated facilities management solutions, additional to construction and renovation activities, should allow VINCI Energies to take full advantage of its market coverage.

Telecommunications. The trend to ever faster broadband services means operators need to invest continuously in expanding and upgrading their infrastructure. This should apply to businesses as well, where performance and competitiveness depend increasingly on the quality of information systems and communication networks.

Synergies with the other VINCI business lines should be a crucial growth driver in most of these markets.
