Individual self-consumption of energy produced by photovoltaic panels has been developed for several years in many European countries. The last “big country” to have offered it a legal framework is France in 2017. Today, it seems obvious to have to consume what we produce: the […]
In addition to the post published two weeks ago, I focus on local “utilities” not subject to the unbundling of distribution (still in regulated domain), on the one hand, sales and production (in the competitive environment), on the other hand. Is the situation of these […]
Every day, we become more aware of the speed at which the climate is disturbed, the depth of the disturbances and the progressively irreversible nature of the latter. And we understand that the energy community will be a strong contributor to the fight against this […]
In many countries exist these local utilities. They are not necessarily the dominant model as in Switzerland and partly in Germany (with the Stadtwerke) but they all share the same characteristics: Their shareholding is local or even municipal (they can even be a service of […]
Among the major European energy companies, some are distinguished by new and more proactive modes of action. I chose 6, which made different choices and took seemingly different routes. Their strategic options are to be closely watched to understand and imagine the future of energy […]
The energy transition can be conceived as a catch-all concept in which all changes in the energy mix, energy systems and regulations are grouped together. This choice has the advantage of simplicity. It has major drawbacks that slow down the adoption and implementation: the confusion, […]
For decades, the world of energy has developed around fairly stable chains of actors within which the roles were clear and well distributed. In recent years, cities and local authorities have tried to invite themselves among the historical actors. Why this movement? What are cities […]
The continuity of a transmission network (TSO) and a distribution network (DSO) is obvious, both for the electrons and for us, observers. However, for technical, organizational and market reasons, these networks have been developed separately and managed by different entities. My initial observation allows us […]
The European energy transition, in progress in almost all countries, is part of the contribution of the Old Continent to the fight against climate change. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 first, is at the center of the concerns. Changing the mix of power […]
Solar photovoltaic is today the third source of renewable electricity after hydroelectricity and wind power. It accounts for around 1.5% of global electricity production and more than 3% of European production. In Europe, in 2016 the installed capacity of photovoltaic panels exceeded 100GW and the […]
