How do you choose the best location for a solar or wind farm? What tools can be used to combine energy efficiency and respect for the environment? Today, satellite data is dramatically redefining these issues. 🌍 Thanks to their precision and ability to analyze vast areas, they open up new perspectives
Imagine a future where not only are power cuts a thing of the past, but where we finally get to grips with the overproduction of renewable energy. Today, many European solar parks have to be shut down due to overproduction, even creating negative price situations.
How about rethinking the way we produce and consume energy? At a time when climate issues are becoming ever more pressing, the question of sustainable energy is at the heart of the debate. How can we meet growing energy demand while reducing our environmental impact?
Collective self-consumption: a revolution in the making? Faced with the challenges of climate change and rising energy prices, the question arises: how can we produce and consume clean, local and economical energy? Collective self-consumption could well be the answer. This concept, which enables several consumers to
In a world where energy issues have never been so crucial, one question persists: how can we ensure a fairer, more sustainable and transparent energy market? 🌍 From production to consumption, the energy path is punctuated by actors, decisions and
Today, the development of renewable energies is more urgent than ever. But can this transition, necessary to limit global warming, be made without compromising biodiversity? 🌱 How can solar or wind farms be installed while preserving fragile ecosystems? These complex but crucial questions deserve our full attention.
Reducing our footprint on the planet: a challenge we're all familiar with, but one that sometimes seems out of reach. However, in the face of the climate emergency, the question is no longer "should we act?", but "how can we act effectively?". In 2025, whether you're an individual, a company or a member of
Did you know that in Europe, around 40% of the electricity consumed in 2022 will come from renewable sources? 🌍 Yet when it comes to choosing truly green energy, consumers and businesses often face complex questions: how can they be sure that the energy is
Energy Communities and Energy Sharing initiatives are paving the way for a future where individuals and companies actively participate in the production, distribution and consumption of clean energy.
Electric cars are booming and represent a major step forward in limiting CO2 emissions. But the question remains: what to do with batteries once they reach the end of their first life? Should they be considered as bulky waste or as a precious resource?
Imagine a world where electric vehicles are not just means of transport, but also key players in the energy transition. What if your fleet of vehicles became a virtual power plant, capable of supplying energy to the grid while reducing your costs? This is
What if we rethought the way we produce, share and consume energy? 🧐 With the climate and energy challenges we're facing, local and collaborative solutions make perfect sense. Among them, heat networks and energy communities are proving to be essential allies. But how can
With the boom in renewable energies, and solar power in particular, a major challenge has arisen: how to manage the surplus electricity produced during periods of high production? This is not an insignificant question. Peak production, often during the day, does not always correspond to peak demand.
Negative electricity prices: a paradox that raises many questions. What are the implications for producers and consumers?
