Founders Xavier Pinon and Aurian de Maupeou set up Selectra in France in 2007, when the French energy industry was in the process of being deregulated. The plan was to help customers navigate the new and confusing market, though it has since branched out into telecoms and financial services. Selectra Group has since spread to 16 countries worldwide. Its websites received 100 million visits in 2020. Selectra IE aims to offer an insight into the companies providing you with gas and electricity. We work with our partners to see if we can get you signed up to a cheaper deal on utilities!
