Home Français EOLFI websites Home Contact EOLFI is an independent, end-to-end specialist of wind power Established in France, Poland, Greece and Taiwan, EOLFI is active in four businesses covering the whole value chain of renewable energies: EOLFI Development, pioneer in wind and solar project development EAM, the first French registered investment fund management company dedicated to wind and solar power infrastructures SPINFLOAT, a new technology of floating vertical axis offshore wind turbine AGNES, a designer and project developer in the field of underwater compressed air energy storage (UW-CAES) Until 2013, EOLFI was the wind subsidiary of VEOLIA ENVIRONNEMENT group. Since its independence, marine renewable energies are in the heart of its strategy. Member of: Created in 2005, the Mediterranée Marine Competitivity Centre has the ambition of becoming a global reference for the mastering of sustainable development, marine security and safety in the Mediterranean. The cluster Capenergies brings together more than 400 members working on projects to innovate and create opportunities to boost the energy industry's economic growth in the following regions: Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Corsica, Guadeloupe, Reunion and Monaco. Vision: Dispatchable Offshore Renewables Convert an intermittent energy into peak power EOLFI sees offshore energy as the main wind power growth part on a long term scale, as long as it covers two stakes: foundations constraints and intermittency. The group already registered patents in France and internationally and created two new technology activities dedicated to: SPINFLOAT: a new floating vertical axis offshore wind turbine. AGNES: Underwater Compressed Air Energy Storage (UW-CAES) solution. EOLFI's main goal is to impel technology in both activities and hold the best expertise in offshore wind power and energy storage.
