Romande Énergie is a Swiss energy production, distribution, and marketing company, also active in energy services. Its head office is in Morges, in the canton of Vaud.
The Romande Énergie Group is the result of the 1997 merger of two century-old companies, Société romande d'électricité (SRE), founded in 1904, and Compagnie vaudoise d'électricité (CVE), founded in 1954 and with its origins in Compagnie vaudoise des Forces motrices des lacs de Joux et de l'Orbe, founded in 1901. In 2017, it supplied 2.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year directly to more than 300,000 private, business, and municipal end customers in French-speaking Switzerland, via its company Romande Énergie Commerce SA. In 2013, it generated 17% of its needs, or 574 million kilowatt-hours per year, exclusively from renewable energies, thanks to its 13 hydroelectric facilities, 9 small hydroelectric facilities, 44 solar photovoltaic facilities and Enerbois, the largest biomass power plant in French-speaking Switzerland. It is an active member of the Association of Swiss Electricity Companies.
The Group is made up of a number of companies, list of which are directly or indirectly owned by Romande Énergie Holding SA, the holding company listed on the Swiss stock exchange (SIX-Swiss Exchange). In 2014 Romande Énergie Holding SA's largest shareholders were the canton of Vaud and the communes of Vaud.
