Energy efficiency measure (Cadres de compensation MDE « maîtrise de l’énergie »)

The Cadres de compensation is a regulatory framework meant for the non-interconnected territories (Régions ultrapériphériques-RUP) to improve their energy efficiency on every sector as well as to raise awareness about energy transition and the challenge of buildings thermal renovation.

Private individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, tertiary and industrial sector, municipalities.

The CRE sets for once the regulatory framework, then each territory constitutes an operational board called the comité MDE, gathering the State representative, the grid operator, ADEME and local authorities. They submit a financing scheme, including a relevant list of actions as well as awareness and communication measures, while setting up a consistent inspection scheme. Once validated by the CRE, this plan is then operated by the grid operator.
