Renewable energy production
In order to offer its customers electricity from renewable sources, SEIC is continually expanding its production facilities, which include local hydroelectric and photovoltaic installations.
Hydroelectric plants
Avouillons plant
SEIC's history is closely linked to that of its Avouillons hydroelectric power station. This infrastructure, now "Naturemade" certified, is equipped with two Francis turbines coupled to a 200-kilowatt three-phase generator. The energy it generates has been integrated into SEIC's range of green energies.
Château-Grillet
In 2011, SEIC and the City of Gland joined forces to produce electricity in a simple, environmentally-friendly way, by installing a turbine that uses water pressure, based on the differences in level between the Montant and Château-Grillet reservoirs. The annual production of this "Naturemade Star" installation is around 70,000 kWh.
Naturemade the energy quality label
The Swiss "naturemade" quality labels meet ambitious criteria that exceed legal requirements. The "naturemade star" certification, on the other hand, guarantees the highest level of quality with energy produced in a renewable and environmentally friendly way. By choosing naturemade star-certified SEICbénéfic, you are actively supporting the development of new SEIC renewable energy projects.
Our photovoltaic park
Building in Duillier
SEIC and the municipality of Duillier have joined forces to install a "Naturemade Star" photovoltaic system on the renovated roof of the municipal administration building. A total of 215m2 of 25.5 kW panels were installed on two sides of the roof, generating around 30,000 kWh per year.
WWF headquarters
SEIC and WWF have joined forces to install a photovoltaic system on the main building of WWF International's headquarters in Gland. Placed on a flat roof, the system comprises 110 panels with a total output of 26.4 kW. Ideally south-facing, it generates around 30,500 kWh per year.
