Question 45223 — energy and fuels

Summary

Ms. Myriane Houplain draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition to the limitations on electricity consumption. Due to the drop in temperatures, the electricity network manager RTE has called on businesses, communities and individuals to temporarily limit their energy consumption, particularly regarding electrical appliances and household appliances. High Ecowatt signal might require the import of several thousand additional MW in order to make it possible to pass this milestone without too much difficulty. If the drop in temperatures can quite logically lead to overconsumption of electricity, it is absolutely unacceptable that consumers could thus be penalized, particularly with regard to the current and future cost of the energy bill. But beyond this overconsumption, the reasons for these restrictions are found in reality in the abandonment by the State, for many years, of the maintenance of the French nuclear fleet. Indeed, due to a lack of will and necessary investments, only 27 nuclear reactors out of 56 are currently in operation. Consequently, she asks him to kindly provide her with a precise inventory of the situation of the French nuclear fleet as well as to inform her of the urgent measures which can be taken in order to to guarantee the French a sufficient supply of electricity, at no additional cost.
