 Everything must change in order to stay as it is. The impossible decentralization of the electricity sector in FranceF.-M. Poupeau Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2020, vol. 120, issue C Abstract: Driven by many actors, the issue of energy decentralization has reappeared on the French political agenda. Celebrated in the past for its capacity to modernize and electrify territories, the centralized model now appears in crisis and is disputed for its inability to meet the new challenges of energy transition. On the contrary, local authorities are put forward, given the strengths they may have, in terms of knowledge of territories, proximity to citizens or synergy. Symbolizing this growing interest, the reference to “territories”, to “local authorities”, to “decentralization” has now become unavoidable in legal texts, giving rise to an abundant academic literature.
