Energy issues are a core aspect of the thought process

Salon des Maires - Atmosphère Sobriété énergétique

For several months now, a challenging geopolitical situation has put a strain on global energy markets, significantly affecting the cost of energy. Local authorities are in the front line of these increases and are fully aware of the energy realities towards which they need to take a proactive approach.

The current situation has expedited energy transition and the transformation towards more decentralised, decarbonated and digitalised models (3D) in an unprecedented way. The need for energy efficiency has now become pivotal for energy savings but also for rolling out new energy sources (renewable and recovery), their technologies, their infrastructures and their usages.

Indicative topics that will be addressed
in this area:

  • Energy renovations in public and private buildings
  • Local production of renewable and recovered energy (thermal solar and photovoltaic; heat networks, wind turbines, biogas and methanisation, geothermal energy, waste heat retrieval, green hydrogen …)
  • Individual and collective self-use for buildings
  • Decentralised production networks and systems and public buildings
  • Levers and solutions for energy efficiency (public lighting, solutions for digital management of installations…)
  • Regional energy solidarity…
  • Changing behaviours and usages
