This law specifies the Grenelle I objectives in order to facilitate their implementation.
Energy – supply-side policies:
• Better linkage of renewable energy to the main energy network
• Support and administrative facilitation for wind power
• Incentives for solar power
• Regulation of experimental carbon storage installations
Energy – demand-side policies:
• Carbon tax (abandoned and later re-introduced by the Fiscal Law 2014)
• Publication of regional programmes for climate and energy within a year of the law entering into force
• Improvement of energy saving certification schemes
• Improvement of energy consumers’ information on their level of consumption and means of reduction
• Improvement of buildings efficiency (e.g. State sector – reduce energy consumption by at least 40% by 2020 and their GHG emissions by 50%)
