英文摘要	This paper introduces an innovative line of study to the current literature, by assessing the interactions, in France, between electricity sources, and periods with differing electricity consumption; namely morning off-peak, morning peak, middle off-peak, and night peak, using high-frequency data, specifically, daily data. This paper also analyses the impact of these interactions on both the diversification of the electricity mix, and on carbon dioxide emissions. Thus, this research could help identify the conditions needed, in both supply and demand, for a successful transition towards renewable energies. A Vector Autoregressive model has been employed to detect the presence of endogeneity, and to show the interactions between electricity supply and demand. Consumption in France has been problematic for the management of a portfolio containing rigid and intermittent base load sources. High peak consumption at night has increased the necessity to deploy a flexible electricity generating source, in other words, fossil fuels, and is one of the reasons for nuclear de-activation. In comparison, high morning peak consumption is rational and desirable. Indeed, morning peaks have been satisfied by a portfolio of renewable energies, decreasing the harmful impact of electricity on the environment, and keeping electricity costs low. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
