Energy sufficiency in law: a case study of French legislation
Abstract
Energy sufficiency has become a key pillar of the energy transition. Yet it remains uncertain whether the existing legal framework is adequately suited to support this shift. France stands out as one of the countries where this issue has gained considerable traction in public debate. We thus examine how a state integrating energy sufficiency into its transition policy translates this ambition into legal and regulatory terms. We have developed an innovative and replicable methodology for assessing legal frameworks, introducing a novel approach to legal analysis in this field.
