Question 12723 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Christophe Proença draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the particularly worrying situation of the French photovoltaic sector, which is today going through a period of major uncertainty, due to the delay in publication of the Multi-Annual Energy Program (PPE 2025-2035). Many Industrial players, particularly rural businesses, report that the lack of clear and stable decisions threatens not only their activity, but also thousands of direct and indirect jobs. Like Fermes de Figeac or the Puymelec company, in its constituency, this represents nearly 10 million euros in turnover and 33 permanent jobs on which families in the region depend. The scenarios currently mentioned within the framework of the PPE, in particular R1 and R2, which provide for low development of solar power, are seen as equivalent to an implicit moratorium on photovoltaic activity. Under these conditions, companies see the cessation of new projects and the total absence of activity as soon as current projects end. The photovoltaic sector nevertheless constitutes an industrial sector that creates sustainable jobs and not relocatable, while participating in the production of low-carbon energy and achieving France's climate commitments. Again in April 2024, Bruno Le Maire, then Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, recalled that “photovoltaics are obvious [...] In a world where electricity has become the great economic issue, because we want to get away from fossil fuels, because that we want to reindustrialize our country, we need photovoltaics.” Thus, he would like to know the measures that the Government intends to take to communicate the date of publication of the multi-year energy programming decree; ensure that the trajectory adopted in the Multi-annual Energy Program (PPE) allows coherent and sustained development of the French photovoltaic sector, in order to preserve employment and industrial competitiveness in our territories and respond to the legitimate concerns of businesses about the survival of their activity in the face of delays and uncertainties linked to the PPE.
