Abstract

Using meso-economic analysis from an industrial economics perspective, the article examines the conditions under which Associations pour la Mutualisation d'une Energie de Proximité (AMEP) emerged in France as a particular form of collective self-consumption within energy communities. A historical review of sectoral developments since the 20th century reveals the market and institutional regulations that have enabled the emergence of citizen actors in the electricity sector, as well as the intertwining of political, productive and technical dynamics in the emergence of new modes of electricity production, supply and consumption. The article thus highlights the logic of productive and political differentiation of AMEP with regard to industrial actors and with regard to other energy communities involved in structuring and disseminating this new model.
