The Autorité de la concurrence gives its green light to the acquisition of Économie d’Énergie by Le Groupe La Poste.

Le Groupe La Poste notified the Autorité of its plans to take exclusive control of Économie d’Énergie (“EDE”), active in the energy efficiency sector.

The Autorité observed that the transaction will not significantly strengthen the position of the new entity in these markets, the use of Le Groupe La Poste’s network is not vital to the development of EDE’s activity, and the positions of the parties in the relevant markets remain very limited.

The Autorité therefore cleared the transaction without subjecting it to special conditions.
