Smart Grid Viewed by the French Energy Regulator (CRE)

The French Energy Regulator (Commission de Regulation de l'Energie, CRE) has made public today the first pillars of its strategy on smart grids. It intends to coordinate an institutional think tank on smart grids, organise public thematic debates (e.g., on electric vehicles, smart home, economic models for smart grids, supergrids, micro-grids, application to insulary areas), develop its publications, report of the international experiences, and concentrate the future national debates around a website dedicated to the the topic: http://www.smartgrids-cre.fr/

The first public event on smart grid organised by the French regulator was held in January 2010 in the form of a symposium and was followed by the publication also today of a book "L'Electricité du futur: un défi mondial" (Economica, 2010).

The press file released today by CRE introduces the main elements of the smart grid concept.
