Renewable energy, a key driver of innovation in the electrical industry

Rexel is evolving at the heart of an energy sector that is being driven forward by favourable long term structural change. The emergence of new, dynamic and fast-growing markets, tied notably to the energy transition, have had a multiplier effect on the different uses of electricity. Among these is the sustained demand for clean energy solutions, the development of electric vehicles, energy efficiency and even the Internet of Things (IoT), most notably, intelligent solutions for smart homes.

Innovation in the solar industry is ramping up and making PV installations more financially accessible and more energy efficient thanks to the use of new materials. Furthermore, new levers of growth, including the use of renewable and cleaner energy sources such as biomass and geothermal energy, are contributing to the acceleration of the energy transition.

This new frontier has arisen from environmental and social necessity, as well as from a real underlying trend that underpins the Group’s growth. Rexel is aware of the challenges ahead and is committed to supporting the development of innovation in the field of energy efficiency, building on its expertise, its pivotal role at the heart of the value chain, as well as on the creativity of its teams.
