From Google Translate: "Things they would advance in the field of Open Data? If the United Nations has classified in July 2014, the France 4th country in the world in digital Administration (1st and European), particularly welcoming the progress made in open data and open source policy .. . the real advances are not numerous enough.

On 3 April 2017, GRTgaz and RTE , respectively managers of the gas and electricity transmission networks, announced the launch of a common open data portal designed to centralize data on energy. The next day, the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) announced release all non-confidential data from the General Register of Trade and Companies. The significant advances, which communities could benefit to strengthen their management capacities.

The data to contribute to territorial policies

By launching the platform Energy Networks , GRTgaz and RTE specify that the sheltered data concern the national, but also local. The portal, managed by OpenDataSoft already hosts the annual data consumption of gas and electricity for industrial establishments directly connected to the energy transport networks. The territory of the Iris (islands grouped for statistical information, ie) can capture a clear picture of the energy consumption of some local industries. However, communities expect more. Article 23 of the Law for fixed digital Republic the goal of publishing "detailed data consumption and production"  and a decree was coming clarify these terms, to find out what degree of accuracy the public and territories could benefit without violating the confidentiality of personal data. 

As for corporate data, open data will not apply if the structure, deposit accounts, made a request for confidentiality. Otherwise, the accounts of the SNCR will now be available via FTP to the INPI , which will need to register by approving a license to use ad hoc written by the Institute. The data, in XML format, will be refreshed on a daily basis. All these new sources will power the strategic thinking of the communities, both serving the energy transition policies of economic development."
