Code de l’Énergie

French energy law is codified in the Code de l’énergie (Energy Code), created by Ordonnance No. 2011-504 of 9 May 2011 and subsequently expanded. The Code de l’énergie consolidates legislation formerly scattered across multiple statutes, including the law of 10 February 2000 on the modernisation and development of the public electricity service and the law of 3 January 2003 on gas markets. The Code is organised into six books covering: general provisions, electricity, gas and other gaseous fuels, heat and cold networks, hydrogen, and energy transition. The Code de l’énergie establishes the principles of public service (péréquation tarifaire — nationwide uniform tariffs for regulated sales tariffs), the regulated access to nuclear electricity (ARENH) mechanism, and the legal regime for renewable energy support.
