Launched in 2026 and led by Julio De Almeida, Circet Energy is Circet Group's dedicated organization and brand for energy infrastructure services. It brings together all of the Circet Group's energy-related activities under a single platform, leveraging Circet's industrial capabilities, operational excellence and international footprint.
Circet Energy provides a comprehensive range of services across the energy value chain, including the construction and maintenance of electricity transmission and distribution networks, EPC services for renewable energy projects, electromobility infrastructure such as railway electrification systems and electric vehicle charging networks, as well as data center and energy-intensive installations.
Operating across all the geographies in which the Circet Group is present, Circet Energy benefits from strong operational synergies with the Group's telecommunications activities. The business combines expertise in network infrastructure deployment, project management, engineering, field operations and maintenance services to support customers in delivering critical infrastructure projects.
Since its launch, Circet Energy has actively expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions, including Kinetic IT in the data center sector, several specialist contractors in electricity distribution networks in France, solar energy installer KBE, and most recently Paralos Energy. The platform will continue to broaden its service portfolio, technical expertise and geographic footprint through further organic growth and targeted acquisitions.
Circet Energy's ambition is to become a leading energy infrastructure platform supporting the electrification of economies and accelerating the energy transition across Europe and beyond.
The Circet Group brings together more than 17,000 people across 12 countries and reported pro forma revenue of €4.912 billion in 2025.
