Free market economy has to replace EDF
Well the Frenchies learned without crowd powered innovation no chance for french products.
no signs of Sophia Antipolis or Nice smartgrid all EDF Capenergies thank you for the sinking ship allies
Du 27 novembre au 3 décembre, une délégation française - regroupant des adhérents de quatre pôles de compétitivité dédiés à l’énergie (Capenergies, Derbi, S2E2 et Tenerrdis) - se rendait dans le Massachussetts et l’Illinois (Etats-Unis) pour une mission smart grid. Un déplacement conçu par S2E2 et organisée par Ubifrance et la Mission économique des États-Unis (avec le soutien de la DGCIS).

On 22nd November, in Paris, Michèle BELLON, Chairman of the Board of ERDF (Electricité Réseau Distribution France) announced the launch of the European smart grid demonstrators project: "GRID4EU". As a major player in the field of smart grids, ERDF was appointed to coordinate this European project.
This programme, started as part of a call for proposals from the European Commission, plans for the development of the electricity networks of the future. Financed by the European Commission to the amount of €25M, this project, the estimated cost of which is estimated at €54M, is the largest funded by the European Union in the field of smart grids.
The GRID4EU programme brings together a consortium of 6 European distributors (ERDF, ENEL, Iberdrola, CEZ, Vattenfall and RWE). It will help to test the potential of smart grids in the field of integration with renewable energies, electric vehicle development, network automation, energy storage, energy efficiency and removal solutions.
Grid4EU is based on six projects that will be tested over four years in each European country represented in the consortium. For France, the NICEGRID project, managed by ERDF has been selected.
