Teréga, accelerator of the energy transition in the territories

Located at the crossroads of the main gas flows at the heart of Europe’s energy network, our infrastructures occupy a strategic position. Established in 15 departments across the far south west, our regional network of 5,100 km of pipelines and our two underground gas storage sites have a decisive role to play in the energy transition in these territories and the communities within them. We rely on a local flexible grid to support the emergence of local biogas production and to encourage sustainable mobility. Every day, more than 600 workers are helping imagine and build the new links in the energy system of the future, to serve local communities. Every day, we are working to ensure that our network can accommodate new low-carbon gases, such as hydrogen produced from renewable electricity or synthetic methane.

Determined to accelerate the decarbonisation of its territories and the development of renewable gases, the Teréga Group is mobilising all its capacities for innovation and collective intelligence to achieve this.

Teréga strives to make its infrastructures more flexible, capable of accommodating new renewable gases in order to sustain the energy supply of the territories while responding to the major challenges:

• build a diversified energy mix,

• focused on renewable energies,

• by reducing greenhouse gas emissions,

• and by promoting a virtuous and circular economy.

This approach is based on the conviction that biomethane is a key element in the diversification of this gas mix. Resources from agriculture are the main source of this energy for the future, enhancing territories and encouraging the maintenance of agricultural activity. In France, 80% of biomethane producers come from the agricultural sector.

Toward multi-energy grids

Even now, we are using the most advanced industrial and digital technologies to design multi-energy smart grids: systems within which the different energy sources are connected to one another to optimise usage, particularly by transferring resources lost by some consumers to other consumers that can use them at that precise moment.

Because we are dedicated to setting an example, we are committed to an ambitious environmental footprint reduction process. It will be achieved by implementing huge transformations in our infrastructures and our ways of doing business, all part of our BE POSITIF programme.

Finally, we want to ensure the continued excellence of our information system while reducing its cost and environmental impact. Digital frugality is thus central to our digital strategy, optimised to reduce our consumption of resources. Digitising our grid also helps us support our customers in meeting their own greenhouse gas emission and energy frugality targets, offering them an accurate picture of their consumption.
