ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Energy sharing within a local community

🌟 First Approved Citizen Energy Community in Wallonia

CEC Energie Libre is the first Citizen Energy Community (CEC) officially approved by CWaPE in Wallonia. Managed by Helios Group, partner of Eonis (alliance between WeSmart and Helios Group), this pioneering initiative represents a reference model for citizen-led and local energy transition.

Mission & Vision 💚

  • Enable Walloon citizens to produce, consume and share renewable energy locally
  • Offer solar energy producers optimal valorization of their surplus (up to 3x the price offered by traditional suppliers)
  • Provide consumers access to green electricity at reduced rates
  • Promote energy autonomy and territorial solidarity

Unique Features

  • Official status: First CEC approved by CWaPE in Wallonia
  • Regional openness: Covers all of Wallonia without immediate geographical constraints
  • Professional management: Led by Helios Group with field expertise and knowledge of Walloon regulatory framework
  • WeSmart Technology: Digital platform for monitoring and managing energy flows
  • Azimut Partnership: Optimization of sharing through smart batteries to maximize self-consumption

Benefits for Participants 💚 For producers:

  • Surplus valorization at real market price
  • Revenues up to 3 times higher than traditional buyback rates
  • Direct contribution to local energy transition
  • Simplified and transparent management

For consumers:

  • Access to green electricity at advantageous rates
  • Significant reduction in energy bills
  • Independence from market price volatility
  • Active participation in local circular economy
