Question 13103 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Florquin questions the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for relations with Parliament, on the conditions of adoption and the content of the decree relating to the third multi-annual energy programming (PPE3), published despite the rejection by the National Assembly of the legislative text intended to set the energy-climate programming for 2025-2035. Indeed, on October 17, 2024, the National Assembly rejected the proposal to law relating to national programming and normative simplification in the energy sector, which took up the general orientation of this PPE3. By finally choosing the regulatory route to stop the PPE3, the Government therefore ruled out Parliament's vote on a strategic document committing France for the coming decade. In substance, the published decree confirms particularly contested directions. He acts a massive acceleration of intermittent energies: doubling of onshore wind power by 2035, fifteen-fold increase in offshore wind power and four-fold increase in photovoltaics compared to 2023, while limiting nuclear ambition to production levels barely higher than those of 2025 and significantly lower than those observed in the mid-2000s. Only six EPR2 reactors are engaged (out of fourteen announced), without clarification on the timetables and final costs, while the development of hydroelectricity remains virtually frozen. Furthermore, the PPE3 calls for a significant increase in energy prices, with a target price for new nuclear power set at around 100 euros/MWh and a 50% increase in gas and fuel prices. No global, exhaustive and sincere assessment of the economic and budgetary cost of this programming has been presented, even though it will affect all productive sectors: industry, agriculture, transport, housing, fishing, digital technology and will weigh on France's competitiveness. Under these conditions, he asks, on the one hand, on what precise legal basis the Government justifies the adoption by decree of the PPE3 in the absence of a programming law adopted by Parliament and, on the other hand, if it intends to transmit to Parliament an evaluation complete, sectoral and consolidated economic, budgetary and social cost of this programming for the period 2025-2035.
