With a view to embedding electrical solidarity across Europe
transmission system operators (TSOs) founded the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) in 2009
This network comprises 43 TSOs including RTE
Its aim is to maintain a balance between supply and demand
together with security of supply and quality of electrical power
Its scope covers the operation of the power system
In consideration of these responsibilities
ENTSO-E is legally obliged to publish a number of documents which are made available to the public authorities and to consumers
and which you can download at the bottom of this page
ENTSO-E publishes the outcomes of its reviews and discussions by issuing a Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) based on scenarios that it establishes in conjunction with the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSO-G)
ENTSO-E publishes an annual report (Mid-term Adequacy Forecast
which provides a forecast of Europe’s security of supply on a 2-year and 7-year time scale
ENTSO-E issues a six-monthly report setting out data gleaned from each TSO in Europe
This document provides a detailed description of events pertaining to Europe’s security of supply: supply/demand balance; exchanges between countries; all key figures

analyses and provides regional players with a set of data enabling them to sustain a balance between power supply and demand
power system safety and electrical solidarity among the regions.
output and trends in energy-mix data throughout France
either in real time or over a given period
The app has two operating modes: one for experts and one for the general public.The first includes data on CO2 emissions from power generating facilities
on cross-border trade in Europe and even on European electricity market prices set by the stock exchanges
The second informs users about a region’s total consumption and gives advice on how to reduce daily consumption
the section called “À la maison (at home)” shows the average annual consumption of an electrical appliance (washing machine
etc.) whilst indicating how much energy could be saved with a less energy-intensive appliance

people are using Ecowatt to help them make smarter choices when it comes to electricity consumption :
Ecowatt qualifies French electricity consumption in real time
Consumers are guided at all times by clear indicators ensuring they make the right choices
Ecowatt also has a text notification service to warn consumers in case of power cut risks
Ecowatt lets consumers know the most effective energy-saving actions and when to take them
all French people can get involved in driving forward the energy transition and ensuring everyone has a plentiful supply of electricity

RTE provides regions with support and expertise by helping them to implement regional energy policies
specifically when it comes to preparing strategic regional guidelines such as regional planning
sustainable development and equality plans (SRADDET) or climate-air-energy plans (PCAET)
An understanding of a region’s energy status (output
consumption and electricity exchanges with neighbouring regions) is essential for effective planning of the energy transition and for driving energy policy
ODRE provides a set of data about power output
produced by the joint efforts of our experts and partners.Open Data Réseaux Énergies (ODRÉ) was jointly developed by GRTgaz
They were then joined by AFGNV and the group now includes Weathernews France

Together with distribution system operators
RTE has set up a platform that explores opportunities for the connection of power-generation facilities to transmission and distribution networks
The information posted on Caparéseau is intended for all generating facilities
network operators develop and reserve accommodation capacities for renewable energy sources

By modernising its grids to integrate renewable energy sources and accommodate new uses (e.g. charging of close to 4.8 million vehicles by 2028), RTE is supporting the objectives of France’s low-carbon strategy (SNBC), which seeks to achieve carbon neutrality in France by 2050. With grid modernisation plans focusing on sobriety and rationalised flow management
the company is aligned with this nation-wide effort
This is how RTE is helping to meet the objectives of the multi-annual energy plan (PPE)
which – by 2035 – intends to halve the level of emissions caused by power generation
winter storms and cold spells on the one end of the scale…
floods and rising water levels on the other
Global warming will bring about increasingly severe weather conditions
These events will affect the balance between electricity supply and demand (consumption levels and locations
effects on generation facilities) as well as affecting grid infrastructure.
The next projected supply estimate being drawn up in conjunction with stakeholders
and which determines potential supply-demand scenarios
will provide a forecast of scenarios up until 2050
It will include climate-change predictions based on scenarios developed with Météo France using the assumptions of the intergovernmental panel on climate change (GIEC)
RTE is building structures that are designed to last for several decades (50 years on average)
While it is thought that the grid has been able to withstand storms since making investments over a 15-year period to strengthen it mechanically
infrastructure vulnerabilities must be identified
particularly with regard to heat and water
so that the appropriate upgrades can be made
RTE therefore decided to start work on its "resilience" project
also based on climate-change scenarios running up to 2050
RTE is currently working together with asset-management experts
data scientists and climate specialists to calculate the impact of extreme-weather events on its structures
RTE is one of the first French companies and one of the first European electricity transmission system operators to submit a "transition plan" outlining its four-year emissions trajectory up to 2026
in addition to its 2022 greenhouse gas emissions report (BEGES)
A company's "transition plan" provides an opportunity to complement the measurement of its emissions (as published in its BEGES) with actions aimed at reducing them
along with targets aligned with the objectives of the national low-carbon strategy
The publication of a transition plan has been mandatory since this year
RTE has long been a pioneer in publishing its emissions
RTE includes in its management report the annual statements of direct and indirect emissions related to its own activities (Scopes 1 and 2) and also publishes comprehensive BEGES reports
which include indirect upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3)
every four years since 2008 on the ADEME website
RTE's emissions have decreased by 4% compared to 2018
amounting to 1,022 kilotons of CO₂ equivalent
