| Résumé anglais |
With 70 % of electrical production coming from nuclear sources (1986) France by far holds the world record. The Rhone-Alps Region is an outstanding example in point, accounting for over 30 % of French electric energy with three quarters of it from nuclear sources. Whether they are conventional or nuclear, the output of thermal or powerstations can hardly be modulated according to needs. Owing to its mountains, the Rhone-Alps Region has long held hydroelectric equipments allowing it to cope with peaks in consumption. The large range of this equipment represents a second original point. Recent or prospective developments in the Romanche basin show the evolutionary aspect of this policies of modulation : — the decision to create the pump storage station of Grandmaison has taken place in a such context as made the modulation of nuclear production appear as a remote goal ; — the Romanche-Isere plan in comparison looks rather as an alternative solution to the construction of one more powerstation in connection with the new patterns of consumers' behaviour in winter (electric heating) which are caused by the use of nuclear energy.
