The challenges of the energy transition in local authorities: key support from Enerlis

November 4, 2024

The energy transition, a major challenge for local authorities

The energy transition has become an essential issue for local authorities, faced with the need to reduce their carbon footprint while guaranteeing a quality public service. Faced with this growing responsibility, municipalities, departments and regions must implement concrete actions to limit their energy consumption and promote renewable energies. Enerlis, an expert in energy transition, supports these players in the implementation of sustainable and efficient solutions.

Why should local authorities get involved in the energy transition?

Communities play a central role in the fight against climate change. Their proximity to citizens and their influence on local development give them a strategic position to initiate and support concrete actions in favor of the energy transition. There are several reasons why this commitment is essential:

Environmental responsibility: communities manage significant real estate assets (public buildings, infrastructure) whose energy consumption is often high. Reducing this consumption helps limit their environmental impact.
Economic efficiency: the energy transition can generate substantial savings in the medium and long term, particularly by optimizing the management of energy resources.
Compliance with regulations: new legal obligations require communities to respect strict thresholds in terms of energy performance. The tertiary decree, for example, requires a 40% reduction in energy consumption by 2030.

Enerlis, a trusted partner for a successful energy transition

With its recognized expertise in the field of energy transition, Enerlis supports local authorities at each stage of their approach. From the energy audit to the implementation of solutions, Enerlis offers tailor-made support adapted to the specificities of each community.

An energy audit to target priorities

The energy audit is the first essential step for any community wishing to reduce its carbon footprint. This audit makes it possible to identify energy saving opportunities and the solutions to be implemented to optimize the energy management of public buildings. Thanks to its expertise, Enerlis carries out complete audits, taking into account the energy performance of infrastructures, but also the consumption habits of users.

Concrete and tailor-made solutions

Once the audit has been completed, Enerlis offers a series of personalized solutions to meet the specific needs of each community. This may include the energy renovation of public buildings, the installation of intelligent energy management systems, or the development of renewable energy projects (photovoltaic, geothermal, biomass, etc.).

Long-term support

The energy transition is a process that takes place over time. This is why Enerlis is committed to supporting communities over the long term, by monitoring projects and offering maintenance services to guarantee the sustainability of the installations put in place.

The importance of financing for a successful energy transition

One of the main concerns of local authorities when it comes to taking action in favor of the energy transition is the question of financing. This is why Enerlis offers innovative solutions through its ESCO (Energy Service Company) model, which allows communities to finance their projects without increasing their initial budget. Thanks to this model, communities can carry out their decarbonization projects without investing, while Enerlis gets paid by retaining part of the energy savings generated.

Access to aid and subsidies

Enerlis also supports communities in seeking and obtaining public funding (ADEME, ANAH, CEE, etc.), thus making it possible to minimize investment costs and maximize the impact of the actions implemented.
