Bringing together associations, local governments, and businesses to accelerate the energy transition at the local, national, and European levels

The Cler Network is a national association that brings together nearly 300 organizations committed to implementing a fair and ambitious energy transition. Its goal is to accelerate the energy transition at the local, national, and European levels.

The Cler Network was founded in 1984 thanks to the involvement of associations and companies pioneering renewable energy. Since its inception, it has been committed to promoting and accelerating a fair and ambitious energy transition, working toward a sustainable society that prioritizes the protection of people and the environment against the challenges of climate change.

The association brings together organizations, local governments, and businesses to advocate for a territorial transition model, promoting energy efficiency, moderation, renewable energy, the fight against energy poverty, and sustainable and inclusive mobility. Its ambition: to drive the energy of the transition. 

The Cler network advocates for and implements an energy transition model based on the three pillars defined by the négaWatt association: moderation, efficiency, and renewable energy. At the heart of this model are the protection of people and the environment, the defense of the public interest, and the democratic reclaiming of energy issues by local stakeholders.

Our Actions

• Bringing together communities of professional stakeholders
• Influencing decision-makers and shaping national policies
• Inform and explain the energy transition
• Developing and incubating concrete solutions to implement the transition on the ground

Our Approach

Our approach is based on expertise and collective intelligence. 

The Cler network is active on all aspects of the energy transition. Training and upskilling its teams, as well as the technical reliability of its work and the information it disseminates, are at the heart of its priorities.

Cooperation and co-creation are central to the association’s practices, whether with members, partners, or within the staff team, to build and champion the solutions of tomorrow.
