How a European renewable energy company is pursuing affordability amid geopolitical uncertainty

Euronext Sustainability Week runs Sept. 14-18 under the title 'Building resilience in a changing world.' All Things Sustainable is the official podcast and in bonus episodes throughout this week, we're talking to CEOs of Euronext-listed companies to understand what that looks like in practice.

In today's episode, we talk with EnergyVision Founder and CEO Maarten Michielssens. EnergyVision is a Belgian renewable energy company listed on Euronext's Brussels exchange, and Maarten outlines the company's goal to make it easier for customers to transition to renewable energy. He describes a business model — producing renewable energy from solar, wind and hydropower and combining it with battery storage, affordable energy contracts and charging networks for electric vehicles — that he says helps keep electricity prices predictable for customers.

"More than 75% of the energy that we sell comes from our own assets. These assets don't respond to market prices, so we can keep our price stable," he says.

This stability has become increasingly relevant in the face of the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts. For most customers, Maarten says the decision to transition away from fossil fuels comes down to cost.

"The combination of renewable energy — which is the cheapest energy — and this obsession for customer satisfaction means that we scale fast, that we are profitable," he says.
