Recent legislation gives the regions and intercommunalities responsibility for the local governance of energy transition. On one hand intercommunalities are gradually being involved in the governance of energy companies; on the other hand, with the development of renewable energy sources, local and regional authorities are being encouraged to invest in energy production. They are also being encouraged to develop their action in the field of energy savings and distribution networks. The information provided by intelligent computers could clarify local policies.
