3ERL

About

Founded in 2024, 3ERL is a co-op headquartered in Cambrai, France with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Solar, Hydro, Wind.

3ERL-RE is a French cooperative association founded to support renewable energy development and exploitation. Operating as an officially recognized balance manager (responsable d'équilibre) for RTE and Enedis, the association purchases surplus and total production from solar, hydroelectric, wind, and co-generation installations. The cooperative compensates producers with 70% of the revenue it receives from RTE at positive price settlement rates, retaining 30% to cover operational costs. Operating independently without government subsidies or private investors, 3ERL-RE offers simple, transparent contracts with no subscription fees, particularly beneficial for producers with battery storage systems practicing collective self-consumption (autoconsommation collective). The association operates exclusively on the Enedis network for customers with smart meters (Linky).
