[en] Whereas consumers are always more in favour of the development of green electric power consumption, new offers are emerging from different utilities and new companies. This set of articles aims at shedding a light on this specific sector by distinguishing green offers in which the provider acquires guarantees of renewable origin equivalent to the provided power quantity (standard offers) from those which commit the provider to directly supply from renewable energy producers (premium offers), these last ones having a stronger impact on the territory. Another axis is the development of concomitant production and consumption with a mobilisation of resources at a close vicinity of the territory, and a good management of intermittences. Thus, some articles explain these notions and differences, outline the role of Guarantees of Origin (GO), and present various actors committed in short distribution paths (Iltek), or operating as associations of consumers (Enercoop), or being rather old actors (CNR, the National Rhone Company) or new comers which support self-consumption (Planete). Effects and trends of energy transition and of digital evolution on the electric power market are discussed by experts. Tables present the various offers proposed by several providers, companies and utilities

[en] EurObserv'ER has been gathering data on European Union renewable energy sources for twenty years to describe the state and development of the sectors in themed barometers. The first part of this opus is a summary of the barometers released in 2019 for the wind energy, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, CSP, bio-fuel, ocean energies and solid biomass sectors. The summaries have provided the opportunity to consolidate all the energy indicators with the official (consolidated) 2017 and 2018 data. Sectors for which no themed barometer was published in 2019 - namely hydropower, geothermal energy, heat pumps, biogas and renewable municipal waste - have also been analysed and monitored in detail using the latest official data for 2017 and 2018. This document offers a full synopsis of the energy dimension of the twelve renewable energy sectors developed at an industrial scale within the European Union

[en] EurObserv'ER has been collecting data on the European Union's renewable energy sources for twenty years to describe the state and thrust of the various sectors in theme-based barometers. The first part of this assessment is a summary of the barometers published in 2018 for the wind energy, photovoltaic, solar thermal, concentrated solar power, biogas, biofuel, solid biomass and heat pumps sectors. The data drawn from these barometers has been consolidated with the official data available at the very end of the year. The sectors that were not covered by individual barometers have also been analysed in detail and statistically monitored using data published in 2018. They cover small hydropower, heat pumps, geothermal energy, biogas, the incineration of renewable municipal waste and ocean energies. This work offers a full synopsis of the energy dimension of the twelve renewable sectors now developed at an industrial scale within the European Union.

[en] As a revival of the thermal solar sector could occur in relationship with the development of heat networks, this publication proposes an overview of the sector situation. The articles notably outline the competitive and reliable feature of this technology which also provides performance guarantees, propose an overview of existing sensor technologies, highlight the introduction of this technology in several heat networks in France, shed a light on the leadership position of Denmark (with its numerous solar heat networks) and on the developments in other countries, report an analysis of 15 solar heat projects in France in terms of technologies, more precisely present some French installations (in Limeil-Brevannes, Issoudun, Lardin-Saint-Lazare, Saint-Christol-d'Albion, Chateaubriant, and Merville), present the ADEME's call for project as an indispensable financial lever, and discuss various aspects of the sector structuring (keys for a successful project, overview of involved actors, case of large installations, thermal solar cooling is lagging behind, ecological taxing and Corporate Social Responsibility policy as still weak tools)

[en] EurObserv'ER has been gathering data on the European Union's renewable energy sources for seventeen years for its theme-based barometer reports on the state of the sectors and their momentum. The first part of this work is a summary of the barometers published in 2016 for the wind energy, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, heat pump, bio-fuel and solid biomass sectors. The data drawn from these barometers has been updated and supplemented by data on the sectors for which no individual barometers were published - small hydropower, biogas, geothermal energy, concentrated solar power, household refuse incineration and renewable marine energy sources. Hence this publication offers a comprehensive energy dimension review of the twelve renewable sectors that are now developed in the European Union on an industrial scale. It also gives for the first time a view of the share of RES heating and cooling in the building stock. The 2016 edition of this report has additional sections broaden understanding of how renewable energies are developing in the European energy, economic and environmental context. The state of renewable energies report has been expanded to include the following new subjects in addition to the traditional sections devoted to energy indicators, socioeconomic aspects and investments made in the European Union's renewable sectors: - an appraisal of the penetration rates of renewable energy equipment for heating and cooling and urban infrastructures; - an overview of the main renewable sector costs and their levels of competitiveness in comparison with the fossil fuel sectors; - an assessment of the impact of the development of renewables on reducing fossil energy consumption within the European Union and the expenses thereby averted; - a full section on innovation and competitiveness indicators arising from R and D efforts in renewable technologies. This covers public-sector R and D investments, the result in terms of filed patents and a comparison of the significance of the renewable sectors by country for international trade; - indicators on how flexible European electricity systems are to integrating renewable capacities

[en] EurObserv'ER has been gathering data on the European Union's renewable energy sources for eighteen years for its theme-based barometer reports on the state of the sectors and their momentum. The first part of this work is a summary of the barometers published in 2017 for the wind energy, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, biofuel, biogas and solid biomass sectors. The energy indicators drawn from these barometers have been updated with SHARES data from 26 January and supplemented by data on the sectors for which no individual barometers were published - small hydropower, heat pumps, geothermal energy, concentrated solar power, household refuse incineration and renewable marine energy sources. The following chapters supply socioeconomic indicators on employment and turnover, investments, avoided CO₂ emissions and resulting avoided expenses thanks to the development of the RES sectors. Another part gives an overview of how the EU performs in terms of R et D as compared to its main trading partners. A final chapter shows that there still is quite enough flexibility in the electricity grid to allow for the integration of more RES-E

[en] Illustrated by many maps, graphs and tables, this publication proposes a rather detailed overview of the status and development (production and location, employment, sector turnover, market and tariffs) of the different electricity-producing renewable energies: self-consumption, wind energy, photovoltaic energy, hydraulic energy, solid biomass, biogas, renewable urban wastes, geothermal energy, marine energies, thermodynamic solar energy). It also proposes a regional overview of these different electricity-producing renewable sectors. A focus is proposed on each French region.
