Founding Selectra


Selectra was first created in France in 2007, as a joint venture between Aurian de Maupeou and Xavier Pinon, as a way to inform and assist energy consumers in the wake of the deregulation of the French energy market.

In 2012, Selectra opened in the French telecom and Spanish markets, and has continued to grow with operations now in 18 countries worldwide.
