National research programme Energy Systems & Renewable Energies (PEPR TASE)
The national research programme Energy Systems & Renewable Energies (PEPR TASE) aims to promote the development of a French industry for new energy technologies, capable of meeting current and future global demand for the growing development of renewable energies and the electrification of uses.
It aims to develop an industrial sector based on French technological excellence, which is competitive, creates jobs, promotes greater energy and industrial independence, and contributes significantly to the energy and ecological transition.

The national research programme Energy Systems & Renewable Energy is part of the national strategy to accelerate advanced energy system technologies (TASE) within the framework of France 2030.
This research programme aims to support research in order to foster innovation in the fields of solar photovoltaic energy, floating wind power and flexible and resilient energy networks. The objective is to propose and develop disruptive technologies in these fields to enable a significant increase in renewable energies connected to the networks. This programme includes a specific component to address the environmental impacts and social acceptance of new energy solutions.
Initial feedback from large-scale renewable energy installations shows that the energy transition can only be achieved if the technological, economic and societal (in the broad sense, social and environmental) aspects are addressed simultaneously and not in isolation.
The key points identified are as follows:
- Encourage innovation for efficient and environmentally friendly photovoltaics.
- Encourage innovation for greater flexibility and resilience in the energy system.
- Manage the growing complexity of the energy system.
- Prepare for a truly green transition.
- Assess the paradigm shift for users and suppliers.
In addition, the strategy must serve the reindustrialisation and sovereignty plan (‘France Relance’), with the following objectives:
- Modernising the production system and decarbonising industry
- (Re)locating critical strategic activities
- Innovating, by supporting investment in research and development, but also by preserving and developing skills.
