About Eric LECOQ

Éric Lecoq is a French executive best known as the founder of Agripower France, a company created in 2012 in Carquefou and specialized in the design, development, and installation of agricultural methanization units. His career is closely associated with renewable energy. Public sources indicate that before Agripower he had already worked in solar thermal and photovoltaic activities, then pivoted toward biogas and methanization, building a business that became a recognized player in France’s energy transition. In corporate filings and press materials, Lecoq is described first as CEO / Managing Director and later as Chairman of the Board of Agripower France. He retained that board chairmanship when a new Chief Executive Officer was appointed in 2021, which suggests a shift from day-to-day management toward governance and strategic oversight. Business registries also show that he remained a company officer until 2023, with his board mandate ending in July 2023. His entrepreneurial profile is defined by execution in a niche industrial market: tailoring the offer to French agricultural customers, developing both individual and collective methanization solutions, and building an operating model able to scale. He also oversaw Agripower’s growth through its listing on Euronext Growth, a milestone that improved the company’s visibility and market credibility. Public materials consistently portray him as the founder who led the company’s creation, strategy, and early expansion. More broadly, Lecoq’s background points to expertise in business development, organizational structuring, and clean-energy entrepreneurship. His most notable achievement is having turned a company launched in 2012 into a listed specialist in biogas valorization and methanization, with a clear industrial positioning in an expanding sector.
