Fiscalité locale des énergies renouvelables, un levier incertain de développement local (France)

Abstract

The exploitation of new renewable energy resources can benefit the areas of their deployment (municipalities and their groupings). All economic activity translates into tax revenues for local authorities. Energy production is no exception to this rule. This paper discusses the impact of renewable energy development on the finances of local authorities. This issue is rarely discussed in the implementation of the energy transition context. This is, however, essential because the state of local government finances and mobilization of local officials on the energy issue could depend of this.
