Groupe OCEA is a provider of smart water and heating metering systems and connected solutions in France, operating in the field of energy transition in residential and tertiary buildings through 3 subsidiaries: Ocea Smart Building (water and heating sub-metering, water and energy cost allocation, digital solutions for energy management), Isiom Conseil (energy efficiency audits and action plans to optimise properties) and Qowisio (connectivity and IoT solutions such as temperature sensors, air quality).

Since acquiring a majority stake in Groupe OCEA in 2019, ICG Infra undertook a series of initiatives, led by OCEA’s management team, to support its growth in the energy transition.

With this third investment for its Active Core Infrastructure funds, EQT continues to invest in key services with a positive impact on society. The company builds on its track record in circular economy and resource efficiency, and therefore strengthens its existing track record in energy and environment.

OCEA would benefit from EQT’s support to further accelerate its growth in its core submetering business and other adjacent solutions in the environmental, smart housing and data management sectors.
