“The auto producer can produce electrical energy at the same consumption site as it can also produce at different places from other consumption sites, and in this case it has the right to access the electricity networks in order to deliver the energy produced from production sites to consumption sites,” says the bill according to Hespress.
A report Agence Ecofin said the use of the network will be chargeable for auto producers who will use it. A regulatory text will be drawn up after the adoption of the law to determine the practical methods such as the calculation of the energy that can be injected into the network in the event of a surplus and under what conditions.
