The City of Paris has ambitious objectives on renewable electricity supply, and they already have 100% renewable supply for municipal demand. However, current certification mechanisms (guarantees of origin) do not account for real time matching between demand and renewable production, which is variable and not necessarily available at all times.
To address the limits of this approach, initiatives such as the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) have been launched, with the objective of ensuring that every consumed kilowatt-hour is produced by carbon-free sources at each hour of the year. Within this context, Artelys and EY performed a study for the City of Paris and C40 to assess the potential of matching renewable generation and e-mobility demand at each hour of the year, with a focus on the role of mobility charging flexibility.
