- Voltaïca, a subsidiary of the Giudicelli Group, raised €2.5 million in July 2025 from FemuQuì.
- The funds will support industrial transformation and an expansion into Italy planned for the second half of 2025

An investment to support Voltaïca’s transformation
In July 2025, Voltaïca, an independent renewable energy producer from Corsica, announced a €2.5 million fundraising round with FemuQuì through the Travalcà Private Equity Fund. The investment, structured as convertible bonds, will be converted into equity when a new investor joins by the end of 2025.
This operation enables the company to launch a new phase of industrial structuring and extend its scope internationally, with a new branch planned in Italy in the second half of 2025.
Voltaïca: a fast-growing independent renewable energy producer
Founded in 2008 in Bastia by Christian and Jean-Marc Giudicelli, Voltaïca is a subsidiary of the Giudicelli Group, a family-owned holding that remains the majority shareholder after this transaction.
The company recorded €19 million in revenue in 2024, employs around 50 permanent staff, and relies on a network of 40 independent business managers across France. It is headed by Jarka Houssin.
To date, Voltaïca has developed more than 600 photovoltaic power plant projects, mainly rooftop installations for the agricultural and industrial sectors.
Operational organization and regional presence
Voltaïca operates from three sites: Bastia (headquarters), Toulouse, and Nice (finance, sales, marketing, and training hubs).
The branch also hosts the Voltaïca Academy, an internal training center designed to build expertise and develop a pool of skilled professionals in renewable energy.
A phased financing strategy
FemuQuì’s entry as a minority investor and member of the strategic committee marks the beginning of a multi-stage financing plan. A second Series B fundraising round is planned by the end of 2025.
Travalcà, the fund mobilized for this operation, was launched in 2023 with the support of the Collectivité de Corse and mutualist financial actors. It targets Corsican SMEs in their growth phase, with investments ranging from €500,000 to €2.5 million.
