List of works
Hello all,
This comes from a list of works/improvements to be carried out by a town in the south of France:
Création d'un poste d'économe de flux permettant d'économiser 2% d'énergie / an dans les bâtiments municipaux.
Am wondering whether this might be an "energy saving substation". Grateful for any suggestions
