In this episode, Jon Slowe is joined by Arthur Jouannic, co-founder of Animergy, and Niamh Parris from LCP Delta. Together, they explore the fast-growing world of collective self-consumption (CSC), focusing in on France, discussing how solar producers are connecting directly with local consumers and the opportunities this creates for the energy transition....

We discuss:

• What CSC is and why it’s becoming a fast-growing part of Europe’s solar market.
• How the French market is scaling quickly and the need to connect solar producers to local consumers.
• Key challenges and opportunities for CSC, including regulation, pricing, and building local energy communities.

What’s one thing you would like listeners to take away from this?

• Collective self-consumption is not just a niche trend: it’s rapidly expanding, offering solar producers a way to reach local consumers directly, creating value for both sides and unlocking a new model for the energy transition.
