In operation and under construction at end of Q2 2023
Qair is an Independent Power Producer (IPP), operating and constructing 1 GW of power generation assets from renewable sources. The group is also developing 30 GW of assets for future deployments in the heart of the 25 territories in which it operates.
For more than 30 years, the company has relied on the historical know-how of its experts and the vision of its principal shareholder, Jean-Marc Bouchet, and develops, finances, builds, and operates solar, onshore and offshore wind, hydroelectric, tidal energy, waste-to-energy and green hydrogen production and storage projects.
Thanks to its worldwide network in Africa, Brasil and Europe, Qair continues its global, reasoned and “multi-local” development. This flexible approach enables it to aim for the commissioning of 3 GW of assets in 2025.
The name Qair is common to all our onshore and offshore wind, solar, hydro, waste-to-energy and green hydrogen activities, and expresses the unity of our group across the 20 countries in which we develop projects.
Qair proudly recalls our roots (“Qa“), unites our international presence (“i“), and affirms our commitment to renewable energy (“r”). It thus better reflects the reality of what we have been since the group’s creation more than 30 years ago. Finally, this name reflects the great times we are living in, full of promises and challenges to ensure that our growth is sustainable, our progress sustainable and that our development is not to the detriment of future generations. Since its inception, the group has taken the measure of the environmental challenges and has been fully committed to actively participating in the ecological transition underway and to accelerating, in line with it, the environmental revolution that I sincerely hope for.
« It is our duty towards future generations to hold our course as a committed player in the environmental revolution ! »
