France: Towards a reorganization of French dams
France is looking to unleash the untapped potential of its hydroelectric dams, but an old dispute with Brussels is complicating the situation. EDF is proposing a change of regime, arguing for the facilities to be operated under authorization rather than concessions, in order to encourage investment and further develop hydropower, the country's leading source of renewable energy with significant development potential.

Grand’Maison: Europe’s most powerful hydroelectric plant
The Grand'Maison hydroelectric dam, the most powerful in France, plays a crucial role in absorbing peaks in consumption and overproduction linked to the boom in intermittent renewable energies. Pumped storage power stations (PSTPs), like Grand'Maison, are becoming essential for storing electricity and supporting the growth of green energies, thus contributing to the flexibility and carbon neutrality of the energy system.
