The European elections reveal more important issues for energy than one might think at first glance. Europe is at a crossroads. On the one hand, voters think that Europe has no political project, no economic project, no societal project. The desire to push back its […]
Providing energy solutions to large consumers is less and less to meet an isolated need, so less and less sell only energy. On the contrary, it means knowing how to accompany them for a long period of time, responding to their new needs as and […]
The liberalization of energy markets, ie their opening to competition, has been widely commented on in terms of short-term results. Has competition favored lower prices for consumers? But liberalization has been much less often seen from the point of view of actors’ game and dynamics […]
European Utility Week, the main event for utilities, echoed earlier this month, an unprecedented invasion and technological storm. But how can the world of energy experts deal with such a movement? Does he have the skills for that? Is it in step with this evolution? […]
The main European event of the electric utilities community has just ended. We are no longer in the days when, slowly, new applications emerged. It was enough to visit the EUW fair as a huge showcase in which the game was to compare technologies and […]
Our minds have been influenced for years by a world that was a priori based on simple concepts: the buildings energy systems were controlled by the electrician (and therefore by the electrical equipment manufacturers) and by the heating contractor (and therefore by the suppliers of […]
Initially, energy efficiency was conceived as energy savings.
