Episode 1: We have not realized the importance of the stakes of the Energy Transition

In France, the “yellow vests” have been showing for several months a loss of confidence in leaders and try to draw attention to their situation, unlivable that remained unknown or, at least, misunderstood by these [...]

Definitely, the DSOs have a lot of hassle! Although evolving in a so-called regulated environment, I already mentioned the fact that they live a situation close to that of a real competition. But another difficulty [...]

Localization of public charging stations for electric vehicles: a compromise to be found

We always tend to think in comparison with situations already experienced. Thus, some of us assimilate the location of charging stations to that of service stations and, as a result, gives particular importance to the [...]

Shell’s takeover of Sonnen: winning move or simple buzz!

Shell’s acquisition of Sonnen is another step in the evolution of the energy markets and the ongoing upheaval. But beyond the simple effect of the press release, how to interpret this movement and what can [...]

Network managers are catalysts for energy transition but for whom?

It is now widely accepted that grid operators are the enablers of the energy transition for several reasons: The ability and speed to connect renewable production to the electricity or gas grid conditions the speed [...]

Energy providers: the skills that make the difference

Historical suppliers have experienced the time when technical expertise, including network management, dominated because they allowed, in integrated utilities, to ensure the essential: continuity of service and the quality of energy supplied. We were then [...]

An energy transition is judged in the long term

An energy transition is like a race for transatlantic sailing: several paths are possible, each of them includes pitfalls and difficulties (storms, lack of wind), the intermediate positions of competitors do not always predict the [...]

What is the interest of a multi-brand strategy for historical suppliers?

In their usual field of action, the incumbent energy suppliers have only one option in front of the opening and liberalization of the market : losing market shares. Their goal is, of course, to lose [...]

Is Volkswagen the most disruptive player in the energy market?

The biggest changes are often rooted in the most important crises. Volkswagen could be the last example. In early January 2019, after going through an unprecedented crisis, Volkswagen announced the creation of its subsidiary Elli, [...]

Energy suppliers: at the heart of a global move

Never before have we needed to see all energy consumers change their habits, become more sober, more energy-conscious, and we have never been more aware of the difficulties involved in engaging consumers in this transformation. [...]

The energy paradoxes of today

If some paradoxes can make us laugh, if others can annoy us, all have the merit of making us think. At the beginning of the year 2019, I propose this recreational post and introduce you, [...]

European elections essential for energy

The European elections reveal more important issues for energy than one might think at first glance. Europe is at a crossroads. On the one hand, voters think that Europe has no political project, no economic [...]

Deploying energy solutions for professionals means learning how to get out of your comfort zone

Providing energy solutions to large consumers is less and less to meet an isolated need, so less and less sell only energy. On the contrary, it means knowing how to accompany them for a long [...]

Liberalization of the market: consequences are specific to each country

The liberalization of energy markets, ie their opening to competition, has been widely commented on in terms of short-term results. Has competition favored lower prices for consumers? But liberalization has been much less often seen [...]

European Utility Week: Is the gap widening between utilities and technologies?

European Utility Week, the main event for utilities, echoed earlier this month, an unprecedented invasion and technological storm. But how can the world of energy experts deal with such a movement? Does he have the [...]

European Utility Week: The world of energy has become a technological world

The main European event of the electric utilities community has just ended. We are no longer in the days when, slowly, new applications emerged. It was enough to visit the EUW fair as a huge [...]

The battle to control the buildings energy systems

Our minds have been influenced for years by a world that was a priori based on simple concepts: the buildings energy systems were controlled by the electrician (and therefore by the electrical equipment manufacturers) and [...]

Energy efficiency: a changing concept

Initially, energy efficiency was conceived as energy savings. Although sobriety remains at the heart of energy efficiency, new conceptions of energy efficiency have developed and give very contrasting images of this notion. Why so many [...]

Switzerland, example or dilemma for Europe of energy?

Like many “small” European countries, Switzerland does not necessarily attract the attention of the big energy players. And yet? Switzerland is regularly ranked at the top of the innovating countries alongside Scandinavian countries,it enjoys a [...]

Are distribution system operators in a world without competition?

In our minds, everything seems clear, distribution network operators (DSOs) belong to the regulated world, therefore remain in a monopoly and are without competition. Is the situation as clear as that? Will we see the [...]

Discover the DNA of energy suppliers through their offerings

How simple was the past energy world! The energy utility’s catalog often boiled down to one or two rates of electricity, gas or heat. In recent years, changes in energy systems and the opening of [...]

Energy transition: the need to rethink lobbying?

First of all, let us define what lobbying is: for me, it includes all the influence actions carried out on behalf of one or more economic actors to influence decision-makers, principally, legislators. Lobbying often exclusively [...]
