Paul Ravetto at the French Energy Law Association

What role for network operators in decarbonization?

On December 13, 2024, Paul Ravetto, partner at Ravetto Associés, participated in a symposium organized by the French Energy Law Association (AFDEn). As moderator, Paul Ravetto led a roundtable discussion titled “The role of network operators in decarbonization,” which brought together representatives from CRE, RTE, GRTgaz, and Enedis.

The discussion was guided by the following questions:

• What are the objectives, obstacles, and means of this movement?
