The Power Network

Managing and developing the public power transmission and distribution networks is one of the fundamental missions associated with "electricity public service", designed to guarantee a quality electricity supply right across the country.

Network development decisions are complex, as they involve a range of factors over which RTE has no control: growth in electricity demand, the creation of new generating facilities, the ways power plants are used, etc. In addition, the creation of new power lines very often raises difficult issues in terms of environmental integration.

The development of the public transmission network is therefore based on a long-term planning approach.
