Achieving large-scale energy savings is the primary objective of the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act (LTEVC), and in this regard, companies must strive for more efficient consumption. Here are the key areas for consideration and potential action.<\/p>\n
To gain a clear overview of their current usage, companies can undergo energy audits. This allows a business to identify its energy profile and determine the specific measures required to optimize its energy consumption.<\/p>\n
In the long term, the development of renewable energy sources is a viable option, particularly through the implementation of photovoltaic panels and geothermal energy, specifically for businesses.<\/p>\n

What actions are possible, and what resources are available? Here is an overview of potential practices and implemented support programs designed to promote more efficient consumption. Implementing an action plan to strengthen energy efficiency: Achieving large-scale energy savings is the core objective of the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act (LTEVC); in this regard, companies have a responsibility to optimize their consumption. Here are the key areas for consideration and potential action. Energy Audits: To establish a baseline of their current consumption, companies can commission energy diagnostics. This allows a business to understand its energy profile and identify the specific measures required to improve energy usage. The use of renewable energy: In the long term, developing renewable energy sources is a viable strategy, specifically through the installation of photovoltaic panels and geothermal energy for industrial use. Demand Response: Industrial infrastructures often include highly energy-intensive units. Within the framework of electrical flexibility, implementing demand response programs helps a company improve its energy efficiency. Establishing a demand response contract with a specialized operator is therefore considered a best practice. Internal communication for better consumption: Using cleaner company vehicles, monitoring real-time energy usage, managing electricity consumption at workstations, and optimizing lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, or heating are all areas that require close monitoring and company-wide awareness. Consulting ADEME for assistance in your transition: As part of an eco-responsible corporate policy, the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) can provide financial support to companies undergoing changes that benefit green growth. What does this support entail? Financing implementations: As part of its energy transition policy, a company may receive assistance from ADEME if it plans to integrate renewable energy systems, optimize resource flow and management, improve waste management, implement heat networks, or promote eco-design, among other initiatives. Financing behavioral changes: Concurrently, ADEME supports the positive evolution of corporate habits through eco-responsibility initiatives, such as communication and\/or training programs, investments in educational equipment and workshops, and mobilization networks. Financing research: ADEME supports companies in their research, development, and innovation projects. It can fund research, benchmarking studies, the development of tools and methods, and prospecting efforts, etc. Seeking information from the CCI: Other sources of funding beyond ADEME are available through the CCI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry). These include, among others, Energy Savings Certificates (CEE), which cannot be combined with ADEME grants, and BPI France’s eco-energy loans, which can be combined with CEE and are intended for SMEs and micro-businesses less than three years old. To determine eligibility for various environmental and sustainable development grants, you can consult the portal provided by the CCI.
