Question 13737 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mrs Sandra Delannoy questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty on the State's persistent deficiencies in the detection, monitoring and sanctioning of fraud in support systems for renewable energies financed by public energy service charges (SPE). In its March 2026 report, the Court of Auditors notes that, despite a cumulative cost of 26.3 billion euros between 2016 and 2024 and off-balance sheet commitments reaching 87 billion euros at the end of 2024, the State still does not have a consolidated vision of the irregularities affecting these systems. It highlights in particular the absence of a national assessment of controls, the incomplete nature of the monitoring of reported anomalies, as well as the fact that the sanctions imposed remain almost non-existent. The Court also highlights the existence of concrete signals of anomalies, in particular several hundred suspected deviations in the photovoltaic sector, without it being possible to draw an overall assessment or to know the actual consequences. In this context and even though the absence of consolidated data is explicitly identified as a major failure of public management, it asks it to kindly indicate, precisely and exhaustively: the number total checks carried out annually since 2020 on installations benefiting from these systems, as well as their coverage rate; the number of irregularities, anomalies or fraud detected over the same period, distinguishing their nature and seriousness; the total amount of unduly paid aid identified to date, as well as the amounts actually recovered and those remaining to be recovered; the number of administrative sanctions or disputes actually pronounced, as well as their typology; the average processing times for reports of anomalies by State services. She also asks him to specify the timetable according to which the State intends to equip itself with a consolidated national system for monitoring controls, fraud and sanctions and whether this system will give rise to regular publication, in order to ensure transparent information for Parliament. in view of the financial issues involved.
