Question 21730 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Patrick Vignal questions the Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition about the nighttime extinction of illuminated signs. Indeed, the phenomenon of light pollution - and, moreover, overconsumption of energy - is recurrent in metropolises. By way of illustration, in Paris and Marseille, despite the local advertising regulations (RLP) which is an obligation for municipalities with more than 800,000 inhabitants, nothing is planned on the extinction of illuminated signs between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. or on the extinction of signs 1 hour after closing and switching on 1 hour before opening. However, III of article 2 of the decree of December 27, 2018 relating to the prevention, reduction and limitation of light pollution indicates that “The lighting of non-residential buildings defined in d are turned on at the earliest at sunset and are turned off at sunset. later at 1 a.m. The interior lighting of premises for professional use is turned off no later than one hour after the end of occupation of these premises and is turned on at 7 a.m. at the earliest or 1 hour before the start of the activity if it is carried out earlier. The window lights of commercial or exhibition stores are turned off at 1 a.m. at the latest or 1 hour after the cessation of activity if this is later and are lit at 7 a.m. at the earliest or 1 hour before the start of the activity if it is carried out earlier. This article regulates the lighting of illuminated signs, however it does not apply to municipalities with more than 800,000 inhabitants, i.e. Paris and Marseille. Therefore, with a view to limiting visual pollution as well as overconsumption of electricity, it is unfortunate that this article does not not included in the RLP of Paris and Marseille. He would then like to know its position on this issue and know what levers it can activate in order to reduce light pollution and overconsumption of energy in metropolises and therefore fill the gaps in the RLP.
