The voluminous energy transition legal framework in France and the question of its recognition as a branch of law

Romain Mauger

Energy Policy, 2018, vol. 122, issue C, 499-505

Abstract: From 2012 to 2017, the legal production related to the energy transition was massive in France. Although the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act of 2015 is the flagship legislation of this period on this eponymous topic, many other acts directly or indirectly concerning the energy transition were adopted and carried provisions contributing to its legal corpus. Additionally, this legal production was accompanied by an extensive process of public participation, an unusual practice in French energy law and policy building.
