Programme elements related to sustainable development goals

Energy production in France is based on a high level of nuclear generation, accompanied by the development of wind power, the main drawback of which is its intermittency. Hydropower is therefore an option for compensating for this intermittency, but it is also a lever for regulating the grid during peak periods.
