About the Company

RTE

Manages France's high-voltage electricity grid

RTE manages France’s high- and extra-high-voltage electricity transmission network to move energy where it is needed and keep supply balanced every second, 24/7. Its system operates in real time with control tools to balance generation and consumption, while its onshore and offshore infrastructure transports electricity across long distances. As Europe’s largest HV network, it serves a public-interest mission by connecting territories, industries, and new power sources to support decarbonization and industrial renewal. Its goal is to accelerate France’s energy transition by reliably delivering electricity to all areas and sectors, enabling electrification and a carbon‑free future.
