1. Self-financing to scale up the energy transition (FR)

This slide-based lesson, presented by Sandrine de Ternay, Finance Manager at the city of Albertville, introduces the concept of intracting: a self-financing mechanism in which energy savings are reinvested directly into new transition projects, creating a virtuous cycle of investment without relying on external funding. Drawing on Albertville's own experience of financing 75 projects worth 2 million euros over five years, it explains how the model works, what conditions are needed to implement it, and why it is easily replicable by other local authorities.
