[en] The central buyer model, defined in this paper, has a double advantage. First, it facilitates the development of capital-intensive equipment to ensure the security of supply and the success of the low-carbon transition. Second, it works in the interests of both large and small consumers. The model leads to stable selling prices that are relatively unaffected by the volatility of fuel prices. It is based on the introduction of a 'long-term markets' brick to current market design, while maintaining the short-term optimisation of systems integrated by the spot market and market couplings

Le modele d'acheteur central, defini dans ce papier, presente le double interet de faciliter le developpement des equipements capitalistiques pour garantir la securite de fourniture et la reussite de la transition bas carbone, et d'oeuvrer dans le sens des interets des consommateurs gros et petits. Il conduit en effet a des prix de vente stables, assez peu influences par la volatilite des prix des combustibles. Il repose sur l'adjonction d'une brique 'marches de long terme' au market design actuel, en maintenant l'optimisation de court terme des systemes integres par le marche spot et les couplages de marchesJournal

[en] The offshore wind energy sector, like many others, is currently experiencing major difficulties as a result of the twin crises of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine, against a backdrop of supply chain tensions and equipment supplier difficulties, inflationary pressures, but also more technical factors such as the design of calls for tender by governments and the importance of non-price criteria. These crises, in a sector in which Europe had unrivalled know-how, come at a time when Brussels and the member states are aiming to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind power to achieve targets that would mobilize around a thousand billion euros of investment. Behind such ambitious targets, and beyond the question of financing, lie multiple challenges in terms of the need to develop high-voltage submarine power connections and consequently an appropriate regulatory framework. This also includes the need to speed up licensing procedures, coordination between states sharing the same marine basin, coordination and cooperation between players in the maritime sector, and the integration of ecosystem protection and public acceptability issues. A new path needs to be found if Europe is to continue to make offshore wind one of the cornerstones of its energy transition. One mistake that has been made, through the current tendering systems of simply putting producers out to tender, is to have forgotten the industrial aspect. On the one hand, the public authorities failed to take into account the immaturity of the sector, and on the other, the enormous implications in terms of investment for manufacturers and infrastructure for public bodies. The illusion of a high-performance sector, capable of achieving very low production costs given the results of certain calls for tender, was sustained by the very favorable circumstances of low raw material prices and, above all, particularly low interest rates. The Ukrainian crisis has completely dispelled this illusion, and calls for a rethink of the current development policy

La filiere de l'eolien en mer connait aujourd'hui, comme bien d'autres, des difficultes majeures consecutives a la double crise du Covid-19 et de la guerre en Ukraine, sur le fond des tensions sur les chaines d'approvisionnement et des difficultes des fournisseurs d'equipements, des pressions inflationnistes, mais egalement des elements plus techniques comme le design des appels d'offre par les gouvernements et l'importance des criteres non-relatifs aux prix. Ces crises, d'un secteur ou l'Europe disposait d'un savoir-faire unique au monde, interviennent au moment ou Bruxelles et les Etats membres entendent accelerer le deploiement de l'eolien offshore pour atteindre des objectifs qui mobiliseraient environ un millier de milliards d'euros d'investissements. Derriere des objectifs si ambitieux et au-dela de la question des financements, de multiples defis se dressent quant a la necessite de developper des connexions electriques sous-marines a haute tension et par consequent un cadre reglementaire approprie. Cela comprend egalement l'imperatif de l'acceleration des procedures de delivrance des autorisations, la coordination entre les Etats partageant le meme bassin marin, mais aussi la coordination et cooperation entre les acteurs du secteur maritime, ainsi que l'integration des enjeux de protection des ecosystemes et d'acceptabilite publique. Une nouvelle voie est a trouver si l'Europe continue de vouloir faire de l'eolien offshore une des pierres angulaires de sa transition energetique. Une erreur qui a ete commise, au travers des systemes d'appels d'offre actuels de simple mise en concurrence des producteurs, est d'avoir oublie le volet industriel. Les pouvoirs publics n'ont pas tenu compte, d'un cote de l'immaturite du secteur, et de l'autre des enormes implications en termes d'investissements pour les fabricants et dans les infrastructures pour les entites publiques. L'illusion d'une filiere tres performante, permettant d'atteindre des couts de production tres bas au regard des resultats de certains appels d'offre a ete entretenue par des circonstances tres favorables de prix bas des matieres premieres et surtout de taux d'interet particulierement bas. La crise ukrainienne aura completement dissipe cette illusion et implique une remise a plat de la politique de developpement actuelleSource

[en] The success of the Paris Agreement in rallying the world to take collective action against climate change and global warming has highlighted the stark challenge that lays ahead: Humankind must achieve a net zero carbon emissions target by the second half of this century. If the goal of keeping warming within 2 deg. C is to be met, all countries will have to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by about 30% more than the amount that was pledged in the run-up to the Paris conference in December 2015. This makes the action taken over the next decade absolutely critical in reaching this goal. The fact that affordable fossil fuels are likely to remain readily available is certain to complicate this collective effort even further. Together with the US and China, the European Union will have to go beyond its goal of reducing its emissions by 40% of its 1990 levels by 2030. This means it will have to both lower its consumption of fossil fuels - coal in particular - and create a credible carbon price signal for its economy by establishing a floor price in its Emissions Trading System (ETS) and possibly a European carbon tax. France, for its part, must concentrate on reducing emissions from transport, residential and commercial housing and agriculture as its emissions from electricity generation are already very low. Having brought down its emissions by close to 19% since 1990, France is clearly committed to taking climate action. The economic crisis notwithstanding, this reduction comes mostly from the manufacturing sector and energy production itself. However, if the country is to reach carbon neutrality by the second half of the 21. century without hampering its competitiveness, it will have to rethink the scope and rate of action to be taken.
