Renewable Energy Tools: “State of the Art” and “REN – Collection”

The National Knowledge Hub for Renewable Energy (REN) has created two tools: “State of the Art” and “REN – Collection” to better manage the decarbonization of territories using renewable energy.

The State of the Art tool

For a quick assessment of the status of renewable energy (RE) from national to local level (EPCI). It includes:
Installed capacity (in MW)
Actual production (in GWh)
Number of production sites

The Renewable Energy Collection Tool

To enable continuous data collection and thus obtain a more accurate view, including location, project progress, installation characteristics, grid connection status, and more.

These two tools are being developed to complement the IGN and Cerema tools.

Which renewable energies are covered?

Initially:

Wind

Solar

Methanization

Ultimately, all renewable energies are intended to be taken into account.

The “State of the Art” Tool

A tool that provides data on renewable energies.

A tool that covers the entire territory, from the national scope to that of the ECPI.
The data will be updated annually. Link to the “State of Play” tool here

Demonstration video of the tool What are the benefits of this “State of Play” tool?

Facilitating access and sharing of data

By visualizing, in map form at the municipal IRIS, the renewable energy generators installed at the inter-municipal, departmental, and regional levels.

Facilitating comparison between territories
By monitoring renewable energy production at the territorial level and providing insight into the achievement of the SRADDET objectives. And by facilitating the production of regional energy panoramas by providing ready-to-use statistical and cartographic visualizations.

Facilitating decision-making to guide energy strategies at the territorial level
By participating in informing local elected officials as part of the strategies developed within the Recovery and Ecological Transition Contracts implemented between the State, the Region, and the territories (support for ecological indicators of the impact of the actions undertaken, support for decision-making).

For whom? Targets and Beneficiaries
Government Services

:

State services: Regional and departmental prefectures, Ministries responsible for Energy (DGEC, DGPR, etc.), regional directorates (DREAL, DRAAF), departmental directorates (DDT, DDETS)State services: Regional and departmental prefectures, Ministries responsible for Energy (DGEC, DGPR, etc.), regional directorates (DREAL, DRAAF), departmental directorates (DDT, DDETS)

Local authorities: Regions, departments, intermunicipal bodies

Civil society: Citizens wishing to learn more about their territory, civil society organizations and environmental advocacy groups, students and researchers, etc.

Energy sector stakeholders: Energy suppliers and producers, project developers and consulting firms, etc.

This is an internal management tool currently under construction that will provide better visibility and geolocation of renewable energy facilities. The link to the upcoming EnR-Collecte tool

Gather data in a tool while avoiding double entry

By enabling the dissemination of public data.

By improving visibility of future renewable energy installations through precise geolocation.
Improving the management and monitoring of territorial issues in local public policies.

By centralizing knowledge of the renewable energy sector within a single database shared between decentralized government departments and the Ministry’s Central Administration.
