RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) is the organization responsible for managing France's high-voltage electricity transmission network. It ensures the reliable delivery of electricity from power plants to regional distribution networks, balancing supply and demand in real time. RTE operates and maintains thousands of kilometers of high-voltage lines and equipment, coordinating the flow of electricity across the country. Its role is crucial for maintaining grid stability, preventing blackouts, and integrating renewable energy sources. Essentially, RTE acts as the backbone of France’s electricity infrastructure, ensuring that electricity generated reaches consumers safely and efficiently.
