The short answer: the official list is the "Liste des entreprises RGE" dataset published by ADEME. data.gouv.fr (the French government's open-data portal) keeps its page, but the data sits with ADEME. Publisher and license: ADEME, under Licence Ouverte (Etalab's open license). Update: every day. The data shows "Updated on November 2, 2026." Volume: 157,758 rows on that date. Rows, not companies (see below). Access: on [ADEME's dataset](https://data.ademe.fr/datasets/liste-des-entreprises-rge-2), through the API or as a CSV. The RGE label (Reconnu garant de l'environnement) is required, for example, for MaPrimeRénov' (the French state's home energy-renovation grant) under its single-measure track, with exceptions. ## What a row contains: 20 columns, a SIRET number, no SIREN number Each row carries 20 columns of data. Grouped by use, they read like this: | Group | Columns | What it provides | | --- | --- | --- | | Identification | siret, nom_entreprise | The matching key and the company name | | Address | adresse, code_postal, commune, latitude, longitude | The location of the business | | Contact | telephone, email, site_internet | Contact details, filled in or not | | Qualification | code_qualification, nom_qualification, url_qualification, nom_certificat, organisme | The label held and the body that issued it | | Work | domaine, meta_domaine | The field of work covered | | Target | particulier | "Works for private individuals" | | Validity | lien_date_debut, lien_date_fin | The start and end dates of the qualification | The key is the SIRET number (the French ID of a business location), a fourteen-digit number for one place of activity. There is no SIREN column (the SIREN number is the nine-digit French company ID). The domaine field accepts several values, separated by ";". Split them before counting by domain. Once split, as of November 2, 2026, the work domains that appear for the most locations are heat pump for heating (15,564 SIRET), heat pump water heater (15,490), interior insulation (13,420) and exterior windows and doors (13,185). 57,324 locations say they work for private individuals. Caption: heat pumps and heat pump water heaters come first, ahead of insulation and windows. ADEME list of RGE companies as of November 2, 2026, domain field split, top eight domains. Scalon Observatory, November 2026. Chart data | Work domain | Locations (SIRET) | | --- | --- | | Heat pump (heating) | 15,564 | | Heat pump water heater | 15,490 | | Interior insulation | 13,420 | | Exterior windows and doors | 13,185 | | Loft insulation | 9,082 | | External wall insulation | 8,272 | | Wood stove or insert | 5,962 | | Mechanical ventilation | 5,941 | ## How many RGE companies? The file counts rows, not companies The same file gives two very different figures. It has 157,758 rows as of November 2, 2026. Keep the rows whose end date falls on November 2, 2026 or later. Across the full file, that leaves 58,893 distinct SIRET numbers. A SIRET number designates a location, not a company. And 604 rows do not pass this date filter: their end date has passed. These 58,893 locations belong to 56,755 companies. [The business registry (Sirene)](/en/blog/sirene-database), read the same day, lets us go further: | What we count, as of November 2, 2026 | Number | | --- | --- | | Rows in the file | 157,758 | | Locations (SIRET) with a qualification running | 58,893 | | of which closed in the Sirene registry (architects included) | 2,050 | | of which architects only (open or closed) | 4,604 | | of which missing from the Sirene registry read by Scalon | 84 | | Open locations, excluding architects | 53,257 | | Companies (SIREN) qualified for energy-renovation work, excluding architects (open or closed locations) | 50,139 | The figure holds up against public statistics. ADEME counts "nearly 55,000 RGE contractors in 2025," a number "relatively stable between 55,000 and 65,000 since 2015." Our count of RGE contractors as of November 2, 2026 (50,139) is a little lower; ADEME's page does not detail its method. A total that does not say what was counted or when is therefore meaningless. The directories that reuse this file also show totals that do not match. To redo the count on your copy, count the distinct SIRET numbers whose lien_date_fin is later than today. What the other sources say - **ADEME, BâtiZoom** (indicator updated April 13, 2026): nearly 55,000 RGE contractors in 2025, between 55,000 and 65,000 since 2015. - **Directories that reuse the file**: 60,369 companies on August 20, 2026 (annuaire-entreprises-rge.fr), 58,797 on October 1, 2026 for mainland France only (aidesdpe.com). These sites copy the file on different dates, and the second does not include the overseas territories. - **Our count**: 58,893 locations and 56,755 companies as of November 2, 2026, architects included; 50,139 companies qualified for energy-renovation work, excluding architects. The locations are spread across the whole country. The départements (France's county-level areas) with the most, as of November 2, 2026, are Rhône (1,864), Nord (1,656), Isère (1,502), Gironde (1,449) and Loire-Atlantique (1,412). ## What share of building tradespeople are RGE? A minority, and it varies widely by trade. We matched the list against all open locations in the Sirene registry for each trade, identified by its activity code, as of November 2, 2026: | Trade: what the business does (register code) | Open locations | Of which RGE | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Heating and air conditioning: installs and services boilers, heat pumps, air conditioners (43.22B) | 42,034 | 8,044 | 19.1% | | Insulation: thermal and sound insulation of walls, lofts and floors (43.29A) | 10,580 | 1,567 | 14.8% | | Joinery: fits wood or PVC windows, doors and shutters (43.32A) | 76,217 | 7,843 | 10.3% | | Plumbing: water and gas pipework, sanitary fittings (43.22A) | 69,054 | 6,884 | 10.0% | | Plastering: partitions, linings and ceilings (43.31Z) | 49,108 | 3,147 | 6.4% | | Roofing: lays and repairs roofs (43.91B) | 39,181 | 2,489 | 6.4% | | Electrical work: electrical installation in buildings (43.21A) | 124,386 | 5,640 | 4.5% | | Masonry: structural work, walls and foundations (43.99C) | 145,014 | 2,943 | 2.0% | | Painting and glazing: paints walls and facades, fits glass (43.34Z) | 96,884 | 1,971 | 2.0% | Caption: nearly 1 heating and air conditioning location in 5 is RGE, 1 in 50 in masonry or painting. ADEME list of RGE companies and Sirene register as of November 2, 2026. Scalon Observatory, November 2026. The share rises with size. Among heating contractors, 55% of locations with 10 or more employees are RGE, 39% of those with 1 to 9 employees, and 9% of those with no headcount recorded, most often businesses with no employees. In practice: an RGE list is already a selection. It leaves out most of the small construction businesses and mostly keeps companies that employ people. **Selling to RGE-certified companies?** Get the list for your area and your target, ready to call. ## Who are the RGE companies: chains, franchises and independents It is a market of independents. By independent we mean a location that belongs to no chain, franchise, brand, group or network of companies. We grouped the 53,257 open locations (excluding architects), which occupy 53,003 distinct addresses, by brand, by website, by business email domain and by company. Of these 53,003 addresses, 49,449 (93.3%) belong to no identified network. Networks bring together at least 3,554 addresses (6.7%): - 1,368 (2.6%) operate under one of the 31 brands, franchises or groups that we identified and checked by hand; - 1,668 (3.1%) belong to 538 networks of several companies sharing the same website or email address, with no confirmed brand; - 518 (1.0%) belong to 26 companies that each run 10 branches or more, such as Urbanis (44 addresses). The top 5 networks hold 474 addresses (0.9%), the top 10 hold 791 (1.5%). They are a heating installer, construction groups and window-and-door and renovation franchises: Savelys (formerly Engie Home Services, sold by Engie in June 2026; 117 locations), Tryba (110 companies), Eiffage (86), Avenir Rénovations (85 locations, 75 companies), Art et Fenêtres (76 companies). In practice: for more than nine addresses in ten, you have to win over an independent company, one by one. Even the top network, Savelys, has only 117 locations. Among these independents, 1,184 addresses belong to 372 companies that run several locations under a single company. Within networks too, each location is often a company to win over. In window-and-door franchises, every location is a separate company: 110 companies for the 110 Tryba locations, 76 for Art et Fenêtres, 74 for La Boutique du Menuisier. Large heating installers, by contrast, concentrate their locations in a few companies: 116 of Savelys's 117 locations belong to a single company, and the EDF group's 71 (Izi by EDF and other subsidiaries) to 8 companies. On size, of the 41,409 companies whose headcount is known, 71% employ 1 to 9 people and 28% employ 10 or more. 51% are SARLs (French limited liability companies), 37% are SAS (French simplified joint-stock companies), 10% are sole proprietors. On revenue, half of the 6,734 companies that publish it for a fiscal year closed in 2024 or later exceed €1.76 million. They are only 13% of the 51,425 companies behind these open locations: the others have confidential accounts (11,715), older ones (9,182) or none published. These are established companies. Half were created in April 2012 or earlier; 7.9% are under three years old. Half of their managers are 48 or younger. Of the 43,660 companies with a known manager, one in six (16%) has a manager aged 60 or older: the question of succession will come up in the next few years. They are also organized: excluding architects, 54% of locations are listed in the CAPEB or FFB directory (the two French building-trade federations), and 23% have won at least one public contract. ## Downloading the list: data.gouv.fr points to ADEME's API The path to the data comes down to three findings. data.gouv.fr hosts no file. Its two resources are links to data.ademe.fr. ADEME does not store an original file either. The rows are generated by its API, described in an "API Documentation" ("Documentation d'API"). Tested on November 2, 2026: the API returns CSV, in slices of at most 10,000 rows, with a link to the next slice. Downloading all 157,758 rows, slice by slice, took us a little over four minutes. The Licence Ouverte 2.0 (Etalab) allows reuse. It asks you to cite the source and the date of the last update. Date your copy with the date of the data, not with the update date shown on the data.gouv.fr page (October 29, 2026 as of November 2). ## File limits to know before importing it into a CRM Four points to settle before an import. It is not just a file of building tradespeople. The first two rows are architects (organisme: cnoa, domaine: Architecte). Filter on domaine or meta_domaine before counting tradespeople. As of November 2, 2026, 4,607 locations carry a row from the Ordre des architectes (the French architects' professional body), and 4,604 have only that one. Valid as of what date? Filter on lien_date_fin. The value 2099-01-01 appears: do not read it as a validity period. For a company's certificate, the row gives nom_certificat and its two dates. The value 2099-01-01 applies to the 7,910 architect rows, and to them alone. An up-to-date end date does not mean the location still exists either: 2,050 SIRET numbers on the valid list are closed in the Sirene registry, 836 of them in the past twelve months. More than half are architects (1,089): one architect in four on the list has a closed SIRET number. Several rows per SIRET. 157,758 rows against 58,893 active SIRET numbers: deduplicate on siret before any matching. A location carries 2.7 rows on average, and 8,454 carry five or more. Contacts, at uneven rates. On the first two rows, phone and email are filled in, and the website is missing on one. Measure the fill rate on your copy before building a campaign on it. We measured it as of November 2, 2026, excluding architects: 99% of locations have an email, 96% a phone number, 64% a website. But 11,731 of those sites point to the company's page on the Qualit'EnR directory (one of the French RGE qualification bodies), not to its own website. As of November 2, 2026, the organisme column is mostly Qualibat (93,706 rows) and Qualit'EnR (43,245), two of the French qualification bodies. The rest is split among about ten bodies, including OPQIBI (another French qualification body) and the Ordre des architectes. By location, Qualibat qualifies 34,118 and Qualit'EnR 17,647. The label displayed elsewhere does not replace the list. In a business directory, 54,998 open listings display an RGE mention. For 5,259 of them, the linked company has no row in the November 2, 2026 list, and 267 of their SIRET numbers are closed. We reread 60 of them, picked at random: 54 do designate the company of the SIRET number, none a different company. Conversely, 93% of RGE locations present in that directory display the mention there. Need the list of RGE-certified companies? We send it with the contact details available, for the scope you choose. ## From the RGE file to an account list: what ADEME does not qualify This file is a count of qualifications, not a prospect list. Its 20 columns say nothing about headcount or revenue, or about whether the location fits your target. To match the file against a CRM, use the SIRET number as the key. Its first nine digits form the SIREN, which lets you group the locations of one company. The SIRET number also opens the other public sources. 66.5% of RGE locations excluding architects have a public business listing linked to their SIRET number. They are rated well there: 4.48 out of 5 on average, across 33,042 rated listings. With business directories, 94% have a public phone number on one of their listings. Scalon starts from public registries like these and delivers qualified locations row by row. Each row carries a score, a verdict and a written reason, and it is matched to your CRM. The Custom plan includes specialized directories; the Essential plan starts at €2,000 per year, excluding VAT. The method is described on [the Scalon page for RevOps](/en/roles/revops). A sample of 100 qualified locations lets you judge it, free and with no commitment. ## Method The figures on the list come from ADEME's "Liste des entreprises RGE" dataset, downloaded in full through its API on November 2, 2026 between 12:24 p.m. and 12:28 p.m. (157,758 rows, data updated the same day at 5:01 a.m.). We matched it by SIRET number against the Sirene registry and the public listings gathered in the Scalon graph, read the same day. Method details and limits **List.** A row is one qualification of one location. A location is counted if any of its rows has an end date (lien_date_fin) of November 2, 2026 or later. "Architects only": locations whose valid rows all come from the Ordre des architectes (cnoa). "Qualified for energy-renovation work": at least one valid row in the "Travaux d'efficacité énergétique" (energy efficiency work) or "Installations d'énergies renouvelables" (renewable energy installations) families. The départements come from the postal code in the list. The contact rates cover the 54,289 valid locations excluding architects. **Registry.** For each SIRET, we read the most recent version of the location in the Sirene registry in the Scalon graph: status, activity code, headcount range. Closure dates come from Sirene's closures file (October 2026 vintage). 84 SIRET numbers are missing from the graph. Legal form, creation date and company headcount come from the legal unit; the age of managers (66,990 individuals, 43,660 companies) comes from the company-officer registries. The RGE share by trade divides the list's open locations by all open locations whose main activity code is the same; open locations in the registry include dormant businesses. **Players.** Computed on November 2, 2026 by Scalon on the 53,003 addresses that carry the 53,257 open SIRET numbers excluding architects. Each address is assigned to a single player, without chaining matches: its website domain if shared and retained, otherwise its brand, otherwise its business email domain, otherwise its company (SIREN number); groupings made by hand come before this order. A retained domain or brand then joins the company holding most of its locations, if it holds at least two. A shared domain is retained only if it brings together addresses in the same town, names sharing a rare word, the same company, companies the website displays, or if it is a website common to three addresses or more in fewer than 100 towns; directories, quote platforms, manufacturers (except their dealer networks under their own name), website builders and consumer email services are excluded. Websites and emails come from each address's public listings, and from the website declared in the ADEME list when they have none. Scalon grouped by hand, with evidence, 31 franchises, brands and groups (Savelys, EDF, Eiffage, Vinci) and reread the top five location by location. Market structure classification (November 9, 2026): a player grouped by hand is a brand, franchise or group; a player bringing together several companies (SIREN numbers) through a shared website or email is a network of companies; a single company with 10 addresses or more counts as an integrated chain; everything else is independent, including a company with 2 to 9 addresses. The number of networks is a minimum: a franchisee that carries neither the name nor the website of its network counts as independent. Median revenue uses each company's latest published fiscal year, closed in 2024 or later, excluding zero figures from confidential accounts. **Public listings.** The 56,759 open SIRET numbers match 56,426 locations in the graph (52,938 excluding architects). Public business listings, CAPEB and FFB directories and public contracts (public procurement open data, "données essentielles de la commande publique") are the ones the graph links to these locations: these are lower bounds, and every public business listing counted belongs to a professional on the list. The RGE mention of a business directory is read from the certifications field of each listing, at its collection date (2026). **Review.** 100 matches drawn at random (seed 20261102) were read by Scalon with the Claude Haiku 5.5 model (Anthropic): 60 business directory "RGE" listings not on the list (54 designate the SIRET's company, 6 remain undetermined, none a different company) and 40 public business listings from the list (37 designate the company, 3 undetermined). Scalon reviewed 20 of them a second time and got the same answer 18 times. The scripts that replay each figure are kept with the article. ## Cite this study The full citation, with the headcounts > Scalon Observatory, "List of RGE companies on data.gouv.fr: where is the file and what does it contain?", November 2, 2026: 157,758 rows in the ADEME list of November 2, 2026, 58,893 locations with a qualification running, 56,755 companies; 53,257 open locations excluding architects, on 53,003 addresses of which 49,449 (93.3%) belong to no identified chain, franchise, brand or group; 19.1% of heating and air conditioning locations (43.22B) are RGE.
