Question 38038 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Luc Lamirault questions the Minister of Ecological Transition on the implementation of article L. 515-46 of the environmental code, which specifies that the operator of a wind turbine, or the parent company in the event of failure, are responsible for providing the financial guarantees necessary for the dismantling of the construction. He would like to know the accounting systems that are put in place to ensure the application of these financial guarantees. The MP recalls that the cost of dismantling a wind turbine is not 50,000 euros, as indicated in the amended decree of August 26, 2011, but can reach 300,000 euros. He therefore wishes a revision of article L. 515-46 in order to take into account the reality of these costs and to ensure the accounting blocking of the sum by the operators. The MP also questions the Minister on the montages financial operators of wind turbines. He takes the example of the Marchéville wind farm, the permit for which was filed by the company JP Énergie environment, a company with capital of more than 2.245 million euros; but the company currently owning it is the one called Parc éolien de Marchéville and having a share capital of 1,000 euros. The MP questions the capacity of a company with capital of 1,000 euros to sufficiently provision in its accounts for the risk and cost of dismantling. In addition, many of these companies do not submit their accounts to the registry offices, making it impossible to ensure their viability. He asks her opinion on this subject.
