ELECTRICITY INCREASING NEEDS, BUT STILL ELECTRICITY POVERTY

• 2000– 6 billion people30% have no access to electricity

• 2030– 17% will still have to access to electricity1,4 billion people

Information/Behaviour

8

• Increased customers awareness• Better energy efficiency financing solutions

– in new building– in existing ”

• New high energy efficiency technics– lighting– heating

9

Industrial sector

• A strong and historical effort to improve energy efficiency

• High energy efficiency process– Mechanical vapour compression– Variable speed motors– Membrane technologies– Electro heat (micro waves, laser, …)– Process monitoring

10

• Energy efficiency solutions– Adviso offer– Assessment and advise for rational energy use

Industrial sector

11

Tertiary sector

• Growing consumptions• Improvement in

– Lighting : EDF sponsor of the green light EU program

– Cold/heat efficient schemes– High environment quality building (HEQ)

12

Transports• The key factor of the increase in energy

consumptions• High energy efficient solutions

– Public transports• 100 electrical buses• Tramways

– Goods transports– Individual transports

• To encourage the use of electric vehicle• To produce more efficient batteries

13

Partnerships and R & D• In France

– A strong partnership with the French environment agency (Ademe)

• R & D– A research focus on

• Construction efficiency• Energy saving process• Energy management solutions• Thermo-dynamic processes …
