With the opening-up of the energy market to competition, the Les Houches electricity company must now think about producing more electricity, if it is to remain competitive. A proposed solar-panel farm was abandoned due to a French state moratorium. So the electricity board is now looking at producing more hydro-electricity. The source of the "Enchaploze" is a possibility, and a resurgence of the Bourgeat torrent another. The Les Houches commune is therefore starting studies of these two possible new sources of energy.
