Dalkia is an energy service company that offers management and maintenance services to operators of industrial production sites, public utilities, offices and hospitals.[1]
The company was formerly jointly owned by Veolia Environnement (66%) and Électricité de France (EDF) (34%) until July 2014, when EDF bought the company's French business and Veolia bought its international operations.[2]
History
Dalkia was created in 1910 with the merger of Esys-Montenay and Compagnie Générale de Chauffe.
In 2001, Dalkia became a subsidiary of Veolia Environnement. It signed an agreement with Électricité de France to build an international presence and expand its range of services. Dalkia also bought the Clemessy Group, which specialises in systems for automation, mechanisation and electronics.
In 2008, Dalkia sold Clemessy and Crystal to Eiffage, an energy and construction company. In 2009, the Mitie Group PLC, a UK holding company that focuses on providing strategic outsourcing and asset management services, bought the facilities management arm of Dalkia UK.[3]
In 2013, Dalkia’s turnover was listed as €3.5 billion, with 12,430 employees around the world.
The company is now based in Saint-André-lez-Lille, France.
