Title: Diversified Production and Market Power: Theory and Evidence from Renewables
English presentation.
Abstract: We study the Colombian energy market, where diversified energy firms strategically substitute thermal generation for hydropower before droughts. This withinfirm substitution, due to thermal generators internalizing the drop in hydropower supply during droughts, mitigates higher market prices. We show theoretically and empirically that these virtuous spillovers exist when thermal generators have market power but are severed when their residual demands are vertical or horizontal, which attenuates a firm’s business stealing incentives. We conclude that industry consolidation can reduce prices if it promotes diversified production portfolios. Diversification can keep the green transition affordable by reducing the cost of renewable intermittencies.

Title: La programmation énergétique au défi de l’électrification/Energy planning challenged by electrification
Please note that the seminar will be conducted in French.
Abstract: While the share of electricity in our energy mix must double within the next 25 years, electricity consumption is declining and hopes of a rebound remain weak. What are the consequences for our decarbonization pathway? For the pace of deployment of low-carbon energy sources and the financing of the nuclear fleet? As France is currently in a situation of electricity overcapacity, can it really afford to forgo the deployment of new generation capacity? And what solutions are there to once again accelerate the shift from fossil fuels to electricity?

Title:Building Decarbonisation and Affordable Housing in Europe – Can Local Governments Address Them Together?
Please note that the seminar will be conducted in English.
Abstract: Buildings are central to Europe’s Decarbonisation and Housing strategies. They represent 40% of final energy use and 36% of emissions, with most requiring renovation by 2030. The importance of building performance has been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which revealed poor ventilation, the recent energy crisis, which deepened energy poverty, as well as the heat waves, which are every year gaining intensity. Since the adoption of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2010, revised 2024) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (2012, revised 2023), EU policy has increasingly integrated the social dimension of housing, linking renovation with affordability, energy poverty reduction, and resilience of critical service buildings. In addition, a new Commissioner in charge of Energy and Housing has been appointed, and a Housing Task Force was established a few months ago.
Local governments, however, face significant challenges in financing, planning, and skill development. This presentation summarizes a report published earlier this year, and identifies the key skills municipalities need—ranging from technical and financial capacities to “soft” skills in coordination and negotiation—while emphasizing the importance of digital tools, integrated governance approaches, and streamlined support mechanisms. Achieving Europe’s renovation goals will require stronger empowerment of municipalities and a major overhaul of investment frameworks.

Roundtable: Clean Energy to Strengthen Energy Security
2025-10-27 09:30 - 11:00 | Sciences Po Salons Scientifiques, 1 pl. Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin, Paris, 75007
The roundtable Clean Energy to Strengthen Energy Security organized by EMLyon Business School, Paris Dauphine-PSL, and the CEC as part of the Paris Climate & Nature Week (Sciences Po), addresses a major challenge of our time: recent energy crises, characterised by price volatility and geopolitical tensions, have underscored the importance of energy security for modern societies. The Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022 reminded European countries how heavily dependent they are on fossil fuel imports. It emphasises the urgent need to accelerate the shift towards local, low-carbon, and sustainable energy sources.
The clean energy transition, through the adoption of low-carbon energy sources, the acceleration of the electrification and measures to enhance energy performance and reduce energy consumption, offers a direct response to this challenge: it reduces reliance on imports, diversifies the energy mix, and strengthens resilience in times of crisis. In addition, if implemented correctly, it also promotes fairer energy systems with lower bills, improved air quality, local and qualified jobs, etc.

Energy Week, December 1st to 5th, 2025
2025-12-01 13:30 - 2025-12-05 16:30 | Multisites : Sciences Po, Mines Paris PSL, Paris Dauphine-PSL
Paris Energy Week (multisite) will take place in Paris from December 1 to 5, 2025, bringing together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and students from around the world to discuss and innovate on the major challenges of the global energy transition at a decisive moment for the future of energy.
Ten years after energy was formally integrated into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, under SDG 7), the energy transition is at a critical juncture. The deployment of renewable energy is accelerating, driven by major players like China, which has helped reduce costs. However, international policy developments threaten some of these advancements: major projects and subsidies are being canceled in the United States, and several European countries are also reconsidering their support for wind and solar energy. At the same time, access to critical minerals presents increasing challenges. Experts are also debating whether to prioritize electrification or energy conservation/sufficiency as part of decarbonization. Societies face complex choices that will shape the balance between sustainability, security, and affordability for generations to come.
In this context, Paris Energy Week will bring together leading figures from academia, politics, and industry to engage in high-level dialogue on the future of energy.
Anna Creti will participate in the session on December 3rd at 2:00 PM at Mines Paris – PSL: Developments and Challenges of the EU ETS as a Dynamic Policy Instrument in Global Climate Governance 👉 Register

Title: La fin de l’eau? Fayard, 306 pages (Winner of the Lucien Dupont Prize from the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, the Sustainable Development Prize from the Cercle Turgot, and the Best Management Essay Prize from FNEGE).
Abstract: Are we heading toward the end of water? Or at least the end of easily available and affordable drinking water? Until the recent droughts experienced in Europe and the United States, global powers tended to view water scarcity as primarily an issue for poorer countries. However, due to climate change and human overuse, half of the world’s population is now exposed to shortages of this vital resource. Around the globe, social tensions over water access are growing increasingly acute. Until recently, water rarely made headlines. Yet, its management should now top the list of the most critical issues. Solutions exist, but governments have fallen far behind. This book outlines the urgent actions needed before the ongoing disruption of the water cycle leads to catastrophic consequences.

Title: Price stability in the low-carbon transition: Taking stock and assessing the implications for monetary policy
[Based on an ongoing paper written with David Barmes and Andrew Jackson]
Abstract: The low-carbon transition – driven by policy, innovation, and behavioral shifts – will fundamentally reshape relative prices across the global economy. These adjustments can exert significant pressure on headline inflation, particularly through volatile categories such as energy, transport, and food. Whether these shocks result in persistent inflationary pressures depends on their propagation through supply chains, aggregate demand, and wage-setting behaviors. This presentation will first take stock of the existing evidence regarding the links between the low-carbon transition and inflation. Such inflationary pressures may compel monetary policymakers to increase interest rates. However, this could slow down the pace of the transition and amplify inflationary pressures related to climate shocks. This introduces a potential “inflation-green transition trade-off” alongside the traditional inflation-output mandate, creating a complex intertemporal challenge for central banks. The second goal of this presentation is to assess the implications for monetary policy and propose a framework for navigating these trade-offs.
