Hugo Cordier is studying offshore wind power planning in France, under the supervision of François-Mathieu Poupeau, as part of a CIFRE thesis at RTE and LATTS. He completed a work-study program at RTE's R&D department on chapter 13 of the "Energy Futures 2050" report (social sciences of energy: sobriety/flexibility/acceptability—particularly of offshore wind power). His interest in offshore wind power is not new and, in addition to chapter 13, he completed an internship at the National Commission for Public Debate on the subject (AO4). He also worked at Energie Partagée for an end-of-studies internship, which has given him a micro view (small community PV power plants on school roofs) and a macro view (1.5GW farms worth several billion euros). He studied at Sciences Po Toulouse (with one semester in Hong Kong and one semester at the Luxembourg Embassy in London), earning a master's degree in European affairs. He completed this program with a one-year work-study program in Arnaud Passalacqua's master's program in "Energy, Ecology, Societies" at Paris Diderot University.
