Cegelec is present in New-Caledonia, Polynesia, Reunion Island and Guiana.
With more than 350 employees, operating across the whole territory, the Cegelec Group is one of the key industrial players in Guiana.
A long-standing partner of Arianespace and CNES, Cegelec Space has 160 European staff in Kourou, most of whom are German, Belgian and French who pool their know-how to ensure the success of the Ariane 5 launcher. At the Guiana Space Centre, Cegelec is in charge of the operation and maintenance of the fluid and mechanical systems of the launch complex and of the payload preparation systems (satellites), and is also responsible for the design and execution of the modification work for the site facilities. In addition, Cegelec designs and installs the fluid systems and the low current systems of the new launch pads for Soyuz and Vega.
Cegelec Guiana has recently won many contracts in the service sector, including the high current and low current electrical installations for the Remire college and the related photovoltaic plant, climate engineering systems (ventilation, air conditioning and extraction) for the vocational high school in Kourou, air conditioning and electrical installations for the psychiatric unit of the Hospital center of the western part of the territory.

Cegelec's presence in French Polynesia dates back to the mid-sixties. Originally designed to provide support to the French Atomic Energy Commission (“Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique”) in setting up the Pacific test Center on the atoll of Mururoa, a subsidiary was created in 1977 in Tahiti.
Cegelec offers a broad and diversified range of services. In this region, the Group has worked on numerous projects in the hotel industry, mainly in Bora Bora and has completed technical infrastructure work for many hotel projects including the Intercontinental, St Regis, and Four Seasons hotels.
In the infrastructure sector, Cegelec has diversified into renewable energies, by participating in the construction of hybrid power plants on the atoll of Tuamotu. This subsidiary provides a whole range of maintenance services that account for 25% of its business activity.
Cegelec Reunion owes its creation to the award of a contract for the installation of a high-voltage power line in the south of the island in 1987.
The Group’s subsidiary whose main business activities include electricity and HVAC, has extensive know-how in the hospital sector : in 2008, it completed work for the Felix Guyon University Hospital which is the largest hospital center on Reunion island with a surface of 80, 000 m² and a capacity of 700 beds.
Other business fields include lift installation, multitechnical maintenance and electrical power lines and networks.
Cegelec has been operating in New-Caledonia for more than forty years and set up a subsidiary in 1987 in this territory.
The Group provides a comprehensive range of technological services. The New Caledonia subsidiary is closely linked to nickel operators including Eramet’s unit SNL, Valeinco- Brazilian group CVRD and Xstrata’s KNS driving the local economy, and works for existing plants and plants under construction.
Cegelec has a strong presence in the service sector, particularly in health and education sectors as well as in the infrastructure sector as a major partner of electrical power suppliers and distributors such as Enercal and EEC.
