From the outset, the strength of our group has come from the power of the wind and the sun, sources of magnificent and ever-renewed energy. It also comes from the unwavering commitment of our employees, who have patiently transformed these precious natural resources into ambitious and useful projects. Together, we built the first wind farms and photovoltaic parks, which have tirelessly produced electricity that is renewable, carbon-free and, above all, cheap.<\/p>\n
We then turned our attention to the derivatives of these marvellous energies: the storage of electricity, then electric and vellic propulsion for ships. Many other ideas were explored, all of them renewable and respectful of our environment and the people who live in it.<\/p>\n
Today, in addition to decarbonising electricity production, we are also focusing our efforts on one of the major challenges facing humanity: decarbonising our means of transport. There is a broad international consensus that renewable synthetic fuels will be the main lever for decarbonising sea and air transport. However, if these fuels are to be renewable and decarbonised, the vast majority will have to be produced from wind and solar power. Drawing its strength from its experience, the Soper Group has the privilege of being one of the very first players in the amazing adventure of synthetic fuels, which are also rightly called renewable fuels!<\/p>\n
From renewable energies to renewable fuels, the great adventure of the energy transition continues!<\/p>\n<\/div>

WHO WE ARE<\/h2><\/div>Our history<\/h3><\/div>Soper, founded in 1998, brings together all the activities developed by Jean-Michel Germa, a committed player in the energy transition and a pioneer of wind power in France and Morocco. Jean-Michel Germa's adventure began in 1989 with the creation of La Compagnie du Vent, which installed France's first wind turbine at Port La Nouvelle in 1991. Nine years later, the company extended its expertise internationally and built the first wind farm on the African continent, at Al Koudia Al Ba\u00efda in Morocco. La Compagnie du Vent has become an emblematic player in renewable energies, with 150 employees and 423 MW of wind farms and 88 MWp of photovoltaic power stations in operation (815,000 MWh\/year). It was sold to Engie in 2017, to continue its development under the name Engie Green...<\/p>\n<\/div>
