In a context of increasingly strict environmental regulations and growing energy constraints, the transformation of companies' energy infrastructures seems inevitable. By 2028, companies, and more specifically in the Supply Chain, Retail or Industry sectors, will have to adopt new energy strategies to remain competitive and environmentally friendly.
Energy production and storage: towards energy autonomy
French law now requires the installation of solar panels on new buildings and gradually on existing buildings. This regulation also extends to car parks, requiring the installation of green canopies or solar production systems. These measures aim to transform companies into producers of renewable energy, thus strengthening their energy autonomy.
However, solar energy production is often asynchronous with consumption needs. To overcome this difficulty, the deployment of energy storage systems such as batteries or hydrogen solutions becomes essential. These systems not only optimize the use of energy produced internally, but also participate in balancing the electricity grid by reselling excess energy at times when prices are advantageous.
Transition to electric vehicle fleets
At the same time, with the increasing availability of electric vehicles and regulatory deadlines approaching, the transition from thermal vehicle fleets to electric fleets is accelerating. To support this transition, it is crucial to correctly size charging infrastructures – and this, starting now – to guarantee optimal support for new fleets of decarbonized vehicles.
Deployment of charging infrastructure
The success of this energy transition therefore depends largely on the implementation of a dense and efficient network of charging stations for electric vehicles. In this context, SprintProject wanted to study in depth the subject of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVRI), one of the keystones of tomorrow's energy system.
This study analyzes the different economic and operational models, market trends, as well as the positioning of start-ups in this sector. It aims to provide decision-makers with the keys to choosing the solutions best suited to their specific needs and their energy strategy.
Indeed, these infrastructures are now designed, deployed, financed and managed by a multitude of players. The many economic, operational and financing models, as well as the various hardware and software solutions, make decision-making and the choice of partners complex. What's more, these decisions must be adapted to the ambitions and energy strategy of companies. A real challenge in times of transition!
Why is this topic crucial?
For professionals in Supply Chain, Retail and Industry, the challenges are multiple:
- Reducing energy costs : By producing their own energy and optimizing its use, companies can significantly reduce their costs.
- Regulatory compliance : Comply with new legal requirements for renewable energy and reduction of CO2 emissions.
- Environmental responsibility : Contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the transition to a greener economy.
- Competitiveness : Adapt to market developments and anticipate future changes to remain competitive.
