RTE, the operator of the electricity transmission network in France, has announced an ambitious strategic investment plan aimed at supporting the decarbonization and reindustrialization of the country. With a total investment of €100 billion by 2040, the plan includes the modernization and adaptation of the entire French electricity network.
The decarbonization and reindustrialization objectives of France will increase the share of electricity in the energy mix to over 50% by 2050. To meet this challenge, RTE presented its strategic investment plan for the next 15 years on February 13, 2025.
The Three Pillars of the Investment Plan
The strategic plan is based on three fundamental pillars:
- Renewing the network to make it more resilient to climate change;
- Expanding connections to meet the growing demand for low-carbon energy;
- Strengthening high and extra-high voltage lines to ensure stability and security in energy distribution.
