Alongside long-standing Elomech, Schwarz & Grantz and Nat, the companies Salvia and Eqos acquired in 2023 and 2024 respectively have provided Eiffage Énergie Systèmes with a comprehensive offering and diversified presence across the industry, infrastructure and networks, local authorities and commercial markets throughout the territory. This change in scale has made Germany one of Eiffage Énergie Systèmes’ largest countries, where it now has a workforce of more than 5000 employees.
Among the many contracts awarded during the first semester was the large electricity transmission deal sealed by Eqos as part of the extension of the electricity grid Rhin-Neckar-Nord Bade. TransnetBW, an electricity transmission grid operator, awarded Eqos a contract to build high-voltage lines and replace cables over a 31 km trunk between Philippsburg and Karlsruhe-Daxlanden. Ultimately, the upgrade will cover the region between Frankfurt am Main and Karlsruhe and considerably increase the electricity grid’s transmission capacity. Works are due to begin in early 2026.
This project will scale up Eiffage’s footprint in Germany’s energy infrastructure market.
