Enlightening the public authorities
A pivotal component of France’s and Europe’s power system, RTE is an expert on the subject. It controls the grid and its power flows whilst also overseeing infrastructure maintenance. At a national and regional level, it has all the consumption records it needs at its fingertips.
Bringing together all the necessary skillsets, RTE informs public energy policy-makers by providing them with its data and impact studies. It advises the government, local authorities and players involved in France’s and Europe’s power system. RTE also publishes schedules and forecasts prepared in conjunction with all energy transition stakeholders.
Talking to all stakeholders involved in the energy transition
A central player within the power system, RTE routinely works alongside all parties supporting the completion of the energy transition: suppliers, generating facilities, electricity and gas distributors, business organisations, NGOs, think tanks, universities and research institutes.
Three essential scheduling tools
RTE throws light on the electricity landscape by publishing forecasts in conjunction with power-system stakeholders, employer organisations, trade-union organisations, NGOs and universities. Find out more about the three main tools.
Publications focusing on specific perspectives
Focusing on specific issues, the purpose of these reports is to inform the strategies of affected players and nurture public debate.
Examples:
Issued in January 2020, a report entitled "Moving towards low-carbon hydrogen" explores the challenges and opportunities for the power system resulting from plans to develop a new hydrogen energy source by 2030-2035.
Issued in May 2019, a report entitled "Challenges for the power system resulting from the development of electric mobility" explores the consequences of plans to deploy the use of electric vehicles on the transmission system.
