Regulatory News:
Groupe OKwind (FR0013439627 - ALOKW), specializing in the
design, manufacture and sale of intelligent renewable energy
generation and management systems dedicated to self-consumption,
announces that it has increased its stake in Purecontrol, a company
specializing in innovative control solutions for water management,
industry and energy performance.
Faced with a structural rise in energy costs, the major players
in the water and sanitation sector have to rethink their energy
consumption and management.
Since 2021 through a minority stake in Purecontrol's capital and
a collaboration contract, Groupe OKwind and Purecontrol have
enhanced the performance of their offering dedicated to the
water-sanitation sector, and accelerated its deployment via a
co-branding approach. The combination of Groupe OKwind's energy
generators and Purecontrol's artificial intelligence enables energy
consumption to be reduced by 10-20%, and energy requirements to be
covered by up to 70% for water and wastewater infrastructures.
Groupe OKwind has decided to strengthen this partnership, which
represents a genuine growth lever for the development of its
self-consumption solutions, particularly in this sector.
Louis MAURICE, Founder and Chairman of Groupe OKwind,
says: "Since 2021, Groupe OKwind has been working with Purecontrol
to support players in the water and sanitation sector in their
energy transition and the decarbonization of their business by
optimizing their energy consumption while making them increasingly
self-sufficient. We are delighted to continue our partnership with
Purecontrol, an innovative company with which we share the same
values in favor of decarbonizing the economy. Our aim through this
cooperation is to accelerate the deployment of our solutions in the
water and sanitation sector, and to extend them to other business
sectors".
Gautier Avril, Co-Founder & CTO of Purecontrol, adds:
"I'd like to thank the various partners who took part in this new
round of financing: two industrial players, including our historic
investor Groupe OKwind and Groupe Veolia, as well as two investment
funds, Noshaq and Unexo. This round of financing will enable us to
accelerate the positive impacts linked to the deployment of our
solution. Given the urgency of climate change, we need to move
fast. And that's what our solution enables us to do: effectively
reduce energy consumption, and more globally, reduce our
environmental impact.
