Catherine MacGregor, the general director of Engie, calls on the candidates for the European elections, keen to place the energy transition at the heart of the debates. The deployment of renewable energies is massive on a global scale, she says.
“In France, the main question; it's onshore wind power, in ten years, we won't have time to have the new nuclear power,” she adds. She deplores the fact that European calls for tenders only include the cost criterion. Only the cheapest technology is retained, she adds, and the targeting of financing and aid also seems “very important” The boss is surprised that it has become a “political subject” and calls for “putting it back in a more neutral way in the European debate” “We must also look at the cost of the system and not launch decarbonization programs “at all costs” says MacGregors.
