CNR is France’s leading producer of exclusively renewable energy and the concessionary of the Rhone for hydroelectricity production, river transport and irrigation for agricultural use. CNR stands out thanks to its role as territorial developer. CNR has conceived a distributive model based on the Rhone river in which green electricity production combines with territorial development

CNR is an expert enterprise that incorporates all the steps of value creation: study, design, operating installations, marketing production, prospecting and developing assets. CNR offers its services for managing and marketing intermittent energies to other producers  and exports its expertise in hydroelectric, river and environmental engineering all over the world.

A mostly public owned joint stock company in the public interest, CNR relies on the balance between the following public and private shareholders: local authorities, the Groupe Caisse des Dépôts and ENGIE, its leading industrial shareholder and a major player in the international energy sector.

In Marie-Galante, CNR uses its expertise to create, together with local actors and authorities, a model that contributes to acheive EU energy transition goals.
