Building on 1,500 White Certificate projects, GreenYellow continues its partnership with Eiffage for the new 2026–2030 period
As the sixth period of the White Certificates scheme confirms the strategic role of this mechanism in financing energy efficiency in France, Eiffage is once again placing its trust in GreenYellow to support the monetisation of White Certificates generated by its projects through to 2030.
Following four years of collaboration, which have resulted in more than 1,500 projects, the two partners are continuing their commitment to accelerating the energy renovation of buildings, industrial sites and infrastructure.
Since the launch of the fifth period of the White Certificates scheme (CEE – P5), GreenYellow has been supporting Eiffage across several of its business lines – including energy services, construction, real estate and infrastructure (roads, civil engineering, rail and metal) – throughout France, helping structure, secure and financially optimise their energy efficiency projects.
Over four years of collaboration, this partnership has enabled the monetisation of more than 1,500 projects, directly contributing to improving the return on investments made by Eiffage’s clients.
A partnership driving energy performance
The collaboration primarily involves the activities of Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, with projects including:
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in commercial and tertiary-sector buildings, including offices, healthcare facilities and logistics platforms.
- Deployment of Building Management Systems (BMS).
- Industrial refrigeration systems for production processes.
- Heat recovery projects in industrial and tertiary-sector facilities.
- Public lighting renovation projects for local authorities.
- Energy renovation projects for multi-family residential buildings, particularly thermal insulation and heating system replacement, carried out by Eiffage Construction.
The industrial and tertiary sectors currently account for most of the projects supported.
Beyond securing White Certificate incentives, the partnership enables Eiffage teams to offer their clients more competitive solutions, secure White Certificate applications and accelerate investment decisions through optimised financing. It also contributes to developing new business opportunities in high-potential markets such as data centers, healthcare facilities and logistics platforms equipped with heat pumps.
When White Certificates enable large-scale projects
Among the most significant projects are:
- An energy performance contract incorporating a complete renovation of the refrigeration systems at a private healthcare facility, with a particularly low remaining cost thanks to the monetisation of White Certificates.
- Several data center projects.
- Major renovation projects for multi-family residential buildings and school complexes.
White Certificates: a major lever for financing decarbonization
“White Certificates are now much more than a financial support mechanism: they are an accelerator for energy transition investments. Eiffage’s renewed trust demonstrates the value of expert support that combines regulatory expertise, administrative compliance and the economic optimisation of projects. We are delighted to continue this joint momentum into the scheme’s new period,” says Claire Chastrusse, Energy Projects & Electrification Director at GreenYellow France.
« Les CEE sont aujourd’hui bien plus qu’un mécanisme d’aide financière : ils constituent un accélérateur des investissements de transition énergétique. La confiance renouvelée d’Eiffage démontre la valeur d’un accompagnement expert capable de conjuguer maîtrise réglementaire, sécurisation administrative et optimisation économique des projets. Nous sommes heureux de poursuivre cette dynamique commune pour la nouvelle période du dispositif. » complète Claire Chastrusse, Development Director at GreenYellow France
