Faced with the energy transition and the climate emergency, French companies find themselves at the crossroads of two worlds: today\u2019s energy sector,<\/strong> dominated by cost pressures and performance challenges, and the energy sector of 2035, which promises to be more efficient, more digitalised and largely decarbonised.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In this rapidly changing landscape, having a clear understanding of energy trends and regulatory developments is becoming essential for businesses to shift from a defensive approach to a proactive energy strategy.<\/p>\n

This article therefore aims to provide them with guidance, insights and practical drivers to prepare for 2035. Its aim is to help decision-makers understand the structural changes ahead, as well as to identify best practices that will enable them to strengthen their competitiveness, regulatory compliance and energy resilience. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2025, businesses operated against a backdrop of highly volatile energy prices, and this is likely to continue into 2026<\/strong>. This instability is due to several factors: persistent geopolitical tensions, adverse weather conditions affecting systems, and growing uncertainty regarding available resources. The energy mix remains largely dominated by fossil fuels (gas and oil) and nuclear power, although renewable energy sources (RES) are gradually gaining ground. <\/p>\n

Among the main challenges faced, the ongoing rise in energy costs remains a major constraint for finance departments. Furthermore, companies must comply with increasingly stringent regulations, such as the Tertiary Sector Decree<\/a>, which sets consumption reduction targets for the tertiary sector, and the CSRD non-financial reporting<\/a> requirements, which demand greater transparency regarding ESG indicators. Finally, growing pressure from consumers, partners and investors is prompting organisations to adopt better carbon traceability<\/strong> and demonstrate concrete environmental commitments<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To tackle these challenges, many companies are turning to practical solutions. The first of these is energy efficiency<\/a>, achieved through in-depth audits, targeted action plans and renovation work. GreenYellow, for example, offers bespoke solutions combining technical analysis, implementation and performance commitments. <\/p>\n

Generating electricity through solar photovoltaic<\/a> technology is another major trend. More and more businesses are installing solar panels on their rooftops, car parks or Solar Carports to meet an increasing proportion of their energy needs. This strategy is often complemented by energy storage systems<\/a>, which help to smooth out peaks in consumption and optimize self-consumption. <\/p>\n

Added to this is a wave of digitalisation, with the installation of energy monitoring systems<\/strong>, building management systems<\/abbr> and real-time dashboards. The use of smart grid solutions<\/a> also makes it possible to better align consumption with generation, whilst bringing greater flexibility to the overall electricity system. <\/p>\n

Energy efficiency<\/strong> is also a key pillar of current strategies. It is not simply a matter of imposing cuts in consumption: it is a structured approach aimed at optimising actual needs, improving technical settings, reducing losses and eliminating unnecessary consumption. <\/p>\n

In practical terms, businesses can take action on several drivers:<\/p>\n
