11
June 2020
Hugo Le Picard

Hugo Le Picard, chercheur au Centre Énergie et Climat de l’Ifri, présente un état des lieux de la filière électrique et la digitalisation du secteur en Afrique subsaharienne. Le développement rapide du secteur des télécommunications dans la région a permis la transformation digitale qui aujourd’hui touche tous les segments de la chaîne de valeur du secteur électrique. Hugo Le Picard affirme que si bien ces bouleversements offrent de nombreuses opportunités pour le développement du continent, ils peuvent aussi présenter une menace s’ils ne sont pas correctement appréhendés.

    Le Royaume du Maroc, dépourvu de pétrole et de gaz, s'est tourné, dès 1960, vers les énergies renouvelables, privilégiant alors l'hydroélectricité et la construction de barrages.
