## About

Based in La Ville-aux-Dames, France, and founded in 2014, PowiDian operates as a developer of renewable, non-polluting, and intelligent autonomous stations for decentralized electricity production solutions. The company was founded by Jean-Marie Bourgeais (CEO), and Pierre Langer, and in October 2020, Construction Venture acquired a minority stake in PowiDian from Xerys Gestion for EUR 7 million.

The company designs and provides modular energy stations called SAGES® (Smart Autonomous Green Energy Systems), that generate and supply reliable, and non-polluting electricity. The firm's system generates energy from a variety of renewable sources, including solar, wind, bioenergy, and water, and stores it in short- and long-term energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion and lead batteries, hydrogen chain production and storage equipment, and fuel cells, etc. It also makes use of remote management software that uses prediction, self-learning, and simulation techniques to regulate and optimize the performance of stations.

PowiDian offers three types of energy stations: standalone systems (suited for off-grid facilities that require full-time energy generation), mobile units (for usage when grid connection isn't possible), and backup stations (for sites where grid connectivity exists). The company’s products are used in remote villages, army bases, GSM/4G/LTE base stations, in-field operations, remote radar, emergency service, hospital, bank, and field research centers.
