The Competition Authority has given the green light to the creation of a joint venture for public charging stations in the West Indies and Guyana, between EDF, the AGI concessionaire, the energy company Genak and the distributor SAFO.
The Authority said in a press release to authorize "the creation of the GMOB joint venture", which "will be active in the sector of public charging stations for electric vehicles in Guadeloupe and, subsequently, in Martinique and Guyana" .
The operation is in particular "not likely to raise competition problems through the vertical links between EDF PEI and GMOB on the market for the retail supply of electricity", underlined the Authority.
AGI is a subsidiary of the Loret Group. It specializes in the import, distribution and vehicle rental sectors in Guadeloupe, Guyana, Réunion and Martinique.
EDF PEI is a subsidiary of EDF whose core business is the production of electricity in island areas.
Genak is a subsidiary of the Genergies group, active in the solar, photovoltaic and thermal energy sector. SAFO is mainly active in the food distribution sector.
