REGIONS & RENEWABLE ENERGY: FROM AMBITIONS TO RESULTS (THE KEYS TO ACCELERATING THE TRANSITION)

Olivier ZANETTA
Description
As leaders in climate, air quality, and energy, the regions have set ambitious targets in their regional plans, supported the emergence of new industries, funded projects, and developed the skills needed for the transition. To mark EnerGaïa’s 20th anniversary, four of these regions are examining how these ambitions measure up to the reality on the ground and shaping the future. The energy system is changing in nature. More decentralized and more deeply rooted in local communities, it calls for a new coordination between regional planning and local projects. It also opens the door for the Regions to take on a coordinating role that has yet to be defined. What role do they want to play in this? How can we move more quickly from planning to implementation? And what levers should be mobilized after 2027 to facilitate the emergence of projects, support local governments and businesses, and build local sectors that create value and jobs?

OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY MORNING SESSION: REGIONS, PORTS, INDUSTRY… THE KEYS TO A VALUE-CREATING INDUSTRY

Arnaud DE VILLEPINCatherine BECLaurent VERDIERMaëlie BENISTAND-HECTOROlivier ZANETTA
Description
Floating wind power is often touted as the next frontier in offshore renewable energy. But behind the installed capacity targets and competitiveness challenges lies a profound transformation of coastal regions and the maritime industry. The development of port infrastructure, the emergence of new industrial supply chains, the creation of jobs and skills, and coexistence with other uses of the sea: what concrete benefits can this sector bring to the regions that host it? Part One – Floating Wind Power: Beyond Costs, What Are the Impacts on Regions? This first session will focus on the economic, industrial, social, and environmental impacts of floating wind power. Beyond the cost per megawatt-hour, how can this sector become a driver of local development, reindustrialization, training, and job creation? Under what conditions will regions be able to sustainably capture the value generated by these projects? Part Two - Floating Wind Power: How Are Ports Shaping a New Industrial Chain? This second session will focus on the conditions necessary to achieve this ambition. Assembling the floats, storing components, transporting equipment, and installing and maintaining offshore wind farms require unprecedented infrastructure and logistics. What investments, which ports, and what partnerships between industry and local authorities will help build a competitive French industry and strengthen the country’s energy sovereignty? Throughout these two discussions, industry representatives, local governments, port authorities, and sector stakeholders will share their vision of the conditions necessary for the success of floating wind power, united by a common ambition: to make this technology a driver of sustainable development for coastal regions and a pillar of France’s energy transition. A roundtable discussion moderated by Olivier Zanetta, journalist and programming director at EnerGaïa
