— VINCI Energies continued to assist transmission and distribution system operators in extending and modernising their infrastructure, notably in France, where Omexom is working for RTE and Enedis under multi-year contracts, Austria (new EHV line in Salzburg), the Czech Republic (construction of a temporary line following a tornado), Canada (Micoua–Saguenay EHV lines, transformer stations) and Australia (upgrade of CitiPower and Powercor’s distribution networks). In Benin, VINCI Energies is taking part in a major programme to extend and secure access to electricity throughout the country, and is building 500 km of extra-high and high voltage overhead and underground power lines, more than 1,000 km of medium and low voltage distribution networks, and 11 transformer stations.
— VINCI Energies is also active in the lighting and urban improvement markets, with solutions that help local authorities reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint, while offering new digitalisation services for city facilities. In 2021, business units under the Citeos brand managed 120 energy performance contracts for local governments in France.
— In the nuclear sector, business held steady thanks to recurring maintenance work, particularly in France where VINCI Energies has a long history of working on EDF’s power plants. A new contract was signed with
1,800 VINCI Energies business units operating in some 60 countries.
