Solar Heat Europe saddened by the passing of Hugues Defreville

It is with profound sadness and emotion that we are sharing today a terrible news.

Our Board member Hugues Defreville, CEO of NewHeat, passed away this week, at the age of 41.

Hugues and his associate Pierre Delmas co-founded this company together, a brilliant enterprise leading the energy transition and promoting our technology, solar heat.

It was a pleasure to have Hugues in our Board since June 2023, and – together with the Board colleagues – , we have truly been enjoying the passion, dedication of Hugues and his excellent leadership.

Our last Board was literally last Monday… the day he passed away a few hours later.

Our sincere condolences and support go to his family and colleagues.

May his vision, commitment, energy inspire us in pursuing the journey, without him in person but with him in our hearts and minds.

Rest in peace Hugues.
