Assessment of a Demand Side Management programme in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region

Abstract

This programme must be understood in its French context:

  • a national utility, a symbol: EDF,

  • a national contract between EDF and Ademe for demand-side electricity management actions,

  • the fact that since energy is a national policy, only certain Regions have chosen to deal with it, in order to enable them to discuss it with the State more knowledgeably.


The programme was made up of 3 main types of actions:

  • The first one was to know the region's electricity consumption and network better, so as to deal with EDF on a more equal footing.

  • The second was to lead managers in the major regional sectors to invest in energy efficiency, through pilot site actions. The paper will present our method and findings in secondary schools, local community buildings, rural hotels, retirement homes, and low income buildings "common areas".

  • The third was to define the main actions needed to develop the use of interesting energy-efficiency technologies. This was done for lighting, cooling, bioclimatic architecture, and variable frequency drives for electric motors. The paper will describe the findings of these studies (which were made with local actors and on-site measurements) and will explain the actions resulting from these investigations.


The follow-up actions of this programme are also described in the last section of this paper.
