Key findings
- Flexibility of industrial electricity demand seen as most important flexibility technology in the short run.
- Growth of electricity storage capacity in France regarded necessary in the next 20 years.
- Experts think that high investment costs are the main barrier holding back electricity storage capacity.
- Of all storage options, batteries are expected to provide most storage capacity expansion.
- The residential building stock is the sector with the highest potential to contribute to the French energy transition targets.
- Building codes and financial subsidies offered by government/utilities are the most important drivers of thermal renovation in buildings.
- The 500,000 renovated building annual target of the national plan for thermal renovation is unlikely to be achieved.
- A step-by-step approach for renovation should be promoted by the government.
