Overview
Présentation
The overseas territories largely import energy that is still highly carbon-intensive (coal, fuel oil). Particularly affected by climate change, the French Overseas Territories must reconcile the inseparable and complementary objectives of energy "transition" and "autonomy". During the consultation on the energy sovereignty bill, the government stated its ambition to achieve a 100% renewable energy electricity production mix in the overseas departments and territories by 2030, and energy autonomy by 2050. These objectives are achievable provided that all public and private players are properly mobilised.
To achieve these objectives by making the most of available resources, the ESEC stresses the many different transitions that need to be made.
