Expertise in Energy
Beyond fuel expertise
As the second largest oil distributor in France (12.2 million m3 supplied in 2024), Siplec E.Leclerc has gained extensive expertise in the field of Energy over the years.
Our teams Siplec E.Leclerc – E.Leclerc develop products and services designed to meet all requirements, with regard to quality and performance, at the best price.
- For individuals: fuel, Clairgaz conditioned gas, domestic heating oil, electric charging stations
- For professionnals: fuels, fuel cards, energy efficiency programs
- For E.LECLERC Stores: natural gas, electricity, PV systems
- Besides, our subsidiary SODIPLEC, runs a network of 23 motorway service areas throughout France. They offer fuel and retail products at competitive prices, along with catering services. All our private label products (i.e Marques Repères, Sélection d’Experts, Biovillage, Nos Régions ont du Talent, Tissaia) are priced the same as in E.Leclerc stores.
We believe controlling and mastering our processes is crucial to success. Our energy management systems are tested every year, as part of the annual audits required by our certification ISO 9001-2015 (Fuel excluding motorway activities, bottled gas, fuel card, energy saving system), delivered by AFNOR.
New sources of energy? Yes indeed!
For years, Siplec E.Leclerc and E.Leclerc have been looking for ways to limit their environmental impact.
1994
Pioneered biofuels
2010
Introduced the first-ever energy-saving incentive program for individuals
2011
Installed electric charging stations in store parking lots
2021
Provided guidance and assistance to each store for PV systems (shading systems, etc.) and local loop solutions.
2025
Supply of HVO100 to E.Leclerc regional distribution centers and partner transport structures.
2026
– Rollout of the Charge E-Lec mobility service at over 3,000 E.Leclerc charging stations
– Siplec E.Leclerc, Roquette, and Vivescia create France’s first low-carbon ethanol supply chain
In 2026, this commitment continues by :
– expanding the Charge E-Lec charging network to support the growth of electric mobility throughout France. The goal is to have 10,000 charging points by 2030, including fast and ultra-fast chargers, representing an investment of more than 200 million euros.
– promoting the use of alternative energies such as electricity and HVO100 for the transportation fleets of regional E.Leclerc cooperatives and those of partner companies. HVO100 reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to diesel; thanks to the use of this biofuel supplied by Siplec E.Leclerc, the facilities supplied in 2025 avoided the emission of 51,264 metric tons of CO₂.
– expanding the availability of biofuels, particularly E85, at E.Leclerc gas stations for use by private customers (more than 60% of E.Leclerc gas stations will already be equipped to dispense E85 fuel by August 2026).
– supporting E.Leclerc stores and logistics hubs in their energy-efficiency renovation, electrification, and transition away from natural gas projects to sustainably improve their energy performance. More than 2.3 billion euros will be invested by 2035.
Calling out all companies selling sustainable products and offering cutting-edge solutions for the Energy sector, we’d love to hear from you!
Siplec E.Leclerc, Partner in Energy Savings
As a renowned distributor of fuel and heating oil, Siplec E.Leclerc has been involved in the National Energy Saving Certificates program for years. In 2010 our teams developed a program that paved the way for E.Leclerc to become the first distributor to offer Energy Saving Certificates to businesses, communities and legal entities, E.LECLERC stores or other entities wishing to carry out energy efficiency work.
Over the past fifteen years, we have expanded our expertise in Energy Savings Certificates by managing more than 21,000 projects, securing over one billion euros in financing for energy efficiency initiatives between 2020 and 2025; these projects primarily target the following sectors: services, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, social housing, and utility networks.
Within the E.LECLERC group, our Energy Transition team—comprising 35 dedicated in-house engineers and consultants from E.Leclerc Énergies—supports each store in its energy transition using a structured approach: regulatory assessment, a customized master plan, cost estimation and prioritization of work, and securing actionable financing through Energy Savings Certificates.
Depending on the needs, the solutions adopted may include: solar power, energy efficiency upgrades, charging stations, assistance with reporting under the Tertiary Sector Decree, as well as other initiatives such as collective self-consumption, geothermal energy, and energy storage via batteries.
Energy for Business
We offer a variety of custom solutions to better manage your company’s utility costs, regardless of the size of your business.
The rollout of biofuels
As early as 1994, we pioneered the development of biofuels and have since explored all known methods for incorporating plant-based products into fuels: ethanol and rapeseed.
We were also the first to bring three specific biofuels to market: E10 and E85 (“superethanol”), available at E.LECLERC gas stations.
The raw materials used in the production of biofuels meet the quality and sustainability criteria set by the European Union and therefore contain neither palm oil nor soy.
Since 2025, Siplec E.Leclerc has also developed an HVO100 supply chain with various partners, for whom it manages the entire environmental traceability process by issuing a sustainability certificate in compliance with European directives.
In 2026, Siplec E.Leclerc, Roquette, and Vivescia joined forces to create France’s first low-carbon ethanol supply chain.
This pioneering, long-term (3-year) partnership aims to decarbonize road transportation while ensuring a smooth transition for the agricultural sector. It is based on:
– regenerative agriculture: The Transition program supports farmers in adopting new practices, with guaranteed long-term compensation.
– industrial transformation: Roquette produces ethanol locally at its French plants using advanced low-carbon processes.
– committed distribution: Siplec E.Leclerc secures the purchase and incorporates this low-carbon ethanol to supply French motorists with Superethanol E85, E10, and E5, which have a reduced CO2 footprint.
The supply chain can thus achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of up to 100% compared to fossil fuels. The entire supply chain is 2BSvs-certified, a sustainability standard recognized by the European Commission for biofuels and aligned with the RED III Directive.
