Question 40074 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. André Villiers questions the Minister of Ecological Transition on preserving the pivotal role of nuclear power in France's electricity supply. Nuclear power is the leading source of electricity production and consumption in France. It comes from 56 reactors making up a fleet spread across the entire territory. It offers the same quality of service throughout the territory with stable electricity, competitive and low carbon. The nuclear sector is the third French industrial sector after aeronautics and automobiles. It has more than 3,000 companies and 200,000 professionals who operate in a wide variety of fields. Finally, it is anchored in the territories where it contributes to local economic dynamism. The energy transition law for green growth aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonize and denuclearize France and increase the share of renewable energies in the French energy mix. Concerning the objective of reducing nuclear energy, a first step aims to reduce the share of nuclear power from 70 to 50% in electricity production in 2035. He asks if and how the Government intends to preserve the pivotal role of nuclear power in ensuring the security of electricity supply in France.
