The latter becomes in 1992 the Agence of the environment and the control of energy (ADEME).

Objective

The COMES had the role the promotion of an energy policy implementing the renewable energies (photovoltaic, solar thermics, wind mill, hydraulics, of the biomass), as well as rational use and energy saving of the energy sources.
