Enedis has partnered with the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games as the official supporter in electricity distribution, this is in line with the goal to make sure games are organised responsibly.
The organisers of the Olympic Games have in the past used generators that run on diesel to electrify the events, in particular for lighting and television broadcasting.
Enedis has set itself a challenge to contribute to the Paris 2024 objective of halving the event’s CO2 emissions thanks to a high quality, solid, constantly maintained and modernized electricity network.
“The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games are perfectly in line with the company’s objectives of taking concrete action for the planet and improving customer service. The Paris 2024 deadline challenges our processes and forces us to adapt quickly to be on target”, adds Marianne Laigneau, CEO of Enedis.
