The Energy savings certificate mechanism or Certificats d'économies d'énergie (CEE) was created in 2006 as one of the key tool in France for controlling energy demand. The gouvernment determines a pluri-annual global energy savings goal imposed to energy suppliers.
To receive a CEE the energy suppliers are therefore encouraged to actiely promote energy efficiency among energy consumers (households, local authorities or professionals)
