Dalkia Holding is Europe's leading provider of energy services. France-based Dalkia's range of services include on-site energy management, including the operation of heating and air-conditioning systems; design and operations of industrial fluid (steam, electricity, compressed air, and so forth) systems; facilities management, including reception and switchboard management services; cogeneration facility operation; and technical services. Dalkia's customers include small and large municipal governments, such as the city of Lyons in France or Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, as well as industrial and corporate customers. The company serves an impressive number of facilities, including 2,500 industrial sites, 4,000 sports, leisure, and cultural stadiums and centers; more than 9,000 schools and research centers; more than 2,000 hospitals and health care facilities; and more than 4.6 million homes. The 70,000 facilities under the company's management encompass more than 105 million square meters. The company's own power production capacity nears 4,000 megawatts (MW). These operations combined to produce more than EUR 5.1 billion in annual sales ($5.5 billion) in 2003. Some 34 percent of those sales were generated outside of France. Dalkia operates through three primary subsidiaries: Dalkia France; Dalkia International, with operations in 31 countries outside of France; and Dalkia Investissement. Dalkia was created in 2000 through the merger of the energy services operations of Vivendi Environment (now Veolia Environment) and former French electricity monopoly Electricite de France (EdF). Veolia remains the company's largest shareholder with a 66 percent share, while EdF maintains a 34 percent stake.
