Question 10223 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Yannick Monnet questions the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries on the draft decree, currently subject to public opinion, relating to environmental assessment and the criteria for submission to the National Commission for Public Debate (CNDP). This draft decree envisages, in its first article, removing power line projects from the jurisdiction of the CNDP. underground, including voltages greater than 400 kV. It seems that this measure is guided by the objective of keeping outside the scope of the CNDP the creation of data centers (data centers) which do not currently appear in the list of projects falling under the CNDP, but whose electrical supply makes it necessary to connect to the very high voltage RTE network of 400 kV. The deputy notes first of all that given their strong socio-economic issues and their significant impact on the environment or regional planning, data centers would, in his view, be intended to join the list of projects subject to consultation by the CNDP. It indeed seems incomprehensible to maintain this exclusion by adding, jointly and consecutively, the exclusion of their electricity supply. Furthermore, he questions the Minister on the consequences of this draft decree for underwater lines and electrical connections to offshore wind farms, which would also seem to be excluded, in fact, from the jurisdiction of the CNDP. If necessary, it warns of this contradiction, while such lines obviously have socio-economic and environmental consequences which justify referral to the CNDP. From then on, he questions him about the compatibility of this draft decree with article L. 121-1 of the environmental code and with article 7 of the Environmental Charter.
