It aims to highlight and analyze the issues and the complexity of the planning of low carbon power systems. The scenarios of the ParisTech Chair established via modeling long-term type of bottom-up derived from the model of the TIMES family will fuel the discussion: they consider the consequences of low carbon policies on the future electricity system and will be discussed by the panel experts. They will focus on technically plausible and sustainable options to ensure an intelligent deployment of these systems while respecting the climate constraint. In particular, we will analyze some options offered by the industrial world concerning:
