About

Founded in 2013, Centrales Villageoises du Trièves is a co-op headquartered in Mens, France with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Solar.

Centrales Villageoises du Trièves is a cooperative solar energy company founded in 2013 by 11 local inhabitants to promote local renewable energy production and community engagement with energy issues. The company operates on a participatory model where citizens invest locally and benefit from profits reinvested in the community. It develops rooftop photovoltaic installations and provides training and technical support for self-installation programs, enabling households to reduce energy costs through self-consumption. The organization manages a community of 'Compagnons' (experienced self-installers) who mentor new participants. CVT invests in projects with at least 4% economic returns and reinvests benefits locally. As of recent years, the organization has supported over 160 households in installing more than 1,500 panels, representing over 500,000 euros in investment.
