This company is a major player in the construction materials industry, operating more than 150 sites across France. Given the size and diversity of its operations, energy contract management represents a major challenge in both cost control and regulatory compliance.
Sector: Construction materials (cement, concrete, aggregates)
Scope: Over 150 sites across France, electricity and gas usage, more than 1,500 employees
In a context shaped by complex tax regimes, evolving regulations, and constant pressure on costs, the company turned to Eleneo to secure compliance while seeking fiscal and operational optimization.
Eleneo’s support
To address these challenges, Eleneo supports the group across multiple areas: energy tax management, capacity optimization, and budget steering, all handled at the individual site level.
1. Energy tax optimization
Eleneo prepares and manages all required documentation for French tax authorities to secure reduced electricity and gas tax rates for eligible sites.
2. Network cost optimization
By monitoring energy usage on a site-by-site basis, Eleneo helps the company adjust subscribed capacities and select the most appropriate network tariff structures, ensuring that transport and distribution costs are aligned with actual needs.
3. Budget forecasting and monitoring
Eleneo also assists in preparing the company’s annual energy budget and oversees its follow-up throughout the year, helping to track performance and anticipate deviations.
This long-standing partnership has resulted in substantial savings through both tax relief and more efficient energy distribution costs, while ensuring full regulatory compliance across the company’s national footprint.
