More than 600 European executives from Eiffage Énergie Systèmes gathered in Paris on 1 June for a corporate convention centered on the launch of the Group’s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan. The event served to outline the core operational strategies that will shape the company’s future amid the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition.
The convention was attended by Benoît de Ruffray, Chairman and CEO of the Eiffage Group; Ludovic Duplan, CEO of Eiffage Énergie Systèmes; and José Manuel Martínez, CEO of Eiffage Energía Sistemas and Eiffage’s representative for Iberia. They were joined by the heads of the company’s European subsidiaries and directors from Eiffage Énergie Systèmes’ primary business units.
During the conference, Duplan and Martínez detailed the strategic pillars and objectives destined to guide the Group’s expansion over the coming years.
Governance of the Strategic Plan
The meeting aligned the Group’s European leadership around a shared vision. A central focus was Ludovic Duplan’s presentation, which mapped out the company’s roadmap toward a more resilient and sustainable Europe.
Duplan highlighted Eiffage Énergie Systèmes’ impressive evolution between 2012 and 2025—a period marked by a 70% growth rate, an €8.1 billion turnover, a workforce exceeding 40,000 employees, 49 acquisitions, and an active presence in eight European nations. This transformation underscores the Group’s shift from a traditional installer to an integrator of complex, European-scale solutions.
The energy and environmental transition, industrial sovereignty, and digitalisation have emerged as the three defining mega-trends reshaping Europe’s future.
To actively capitalise on these shifts, the company has structured its strategy around four core priorities. The first focuses on guiding clients through their energy, industrial and digital transitions with comprehensive solutions tailored to an increasingly complex and demanding environment.
Alongside this is a commitment to expanding the organisation’s specialised technical capabilities, leveraging expertise as a key market differentiator.
Operational excellence remains a cornerstone of the Group’s strategy, anchored by a steadfast commitment to safety, quality, and efficiency. In parallel, Eiffage Energía Sistemas continues to leverage a corporate identity built on proximity, local engagement, and specialisation—values deeply embedded in its culture and its approach to client, partner, and team relations.
Within this strategic framework, the energy transition operates as a critical value driver. The imperative to pivot toward more sustainable, efficient, and decarbonised models represents not only a defining macroeconomic challenge but also a catalyst to accelerate industrial innovation and market competitiveness.
José Manuel Martínez, CEO of Eiffage Energía Sistemas and the Group’s representative for Iberia, highlighted Spain’s position as a European frontrunner in the energy transition, underscoring the subsidiary’s role in driving a sustainable, efficient, and resilient energy model.
In his speech, Martínez highlighted the country’s firm commitment to utility-scale solar and wind generation—a sector where Eiffage Energía Sistemas has installed 7.7 GW of solar and 4 GW of wind power, cementing its status as a leading European EPC player, with a further 1.4 GW currently under construction.
Martínez also emphasized the need to pair renewable growth with smarter grids, new interconnectors, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), which are critical to ensuring grid stability and system-wide efficiency.
Additionally, he championed the evolving role of consumers as active participants in the energy transition, driven by energy efficiency, demand-side electrification, and self-consumption. In this segment, Eiffage Energía Sistemas has already delivered 722 self-consumption projects and deployed over 6,500 electric vehicle charging stations across Spain.
Ultimately, he posited that Spain’s trajectory offers a compelling blueprint for the rest of Europe, underscoring that the transition to a sustainable energy architecture hinges on a triad of renewable deployment, intelligent grid infrastructure, and an increasingly active consumer base.

In his address, he underscored the nation’s steadfast commitment to renewable energy, which has driven the large-scale deployment of solar and wind capacity. Against this backdrop, Eiffage Energía Sistemas has consolidated its position as a market-leading EPC contractor in Europe, boasting a track record of 7.7 GW of solar and 4 GW of wind installations, alongside a further 1.4 GW currently under construction.
Martínez further emphasized that scaling renewable capacity must be paired with smarter grids, expanded interconnectors, and battery energy storage systems (BESS)—all of which are critical to ensuring grid stability and system-wide efficiency.
