Le Contrat d'Achat Direct d'Énergie Renouvelable (CADER) : un nouveau outil contractuel pour les collectivités
- Purchasing, general services
Contexte
VALOREM, Nantes Métropole, and TE44 present a unique public procurement model: the Direct Renewable Energy Purchase Agreement (CADER). The CADER enables local authorities to secure their electricity expenditure while contributing to the energy transition. This innovative scheme allows them to purchase electricity locally at a guaranteed long-term price: for 20 years, a local wind turbine and solar power plant will supply 200 public facilities. VALOREM, Nantes Métropole, and TE44 wish to share this experience, which can be replicated in other areas.
