Question 9789 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mrs Lisette Pollet draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries to the worrying consequences of a possible reduction in the franchise thresholds in the context of energy saving contracts (EEC). During the meeting of the Scientific Committee on Energy (CSE) on July 24, 2025, several amendments were adopted concerning the franchise thresholds applicable to system of energy savings certificates (EEC) of up to 71% for automotive fuel (2000m³) and 50% for domestic fuel oil (500 m³). These developments would, according to independent distributors, have worrying consequences for the economic fabric of rural areas, whose turnover or volumes sold would be just above the modified thresholds. Family businesses would see each other thus imposing administrative and financial constraints jeopardizing their economic model, compromising the coverage of services in rural areas, where distances and logistics costs are already high. The MP is not unaware of the imperative to fight against the artificial multiplication of subsidiaries by large companies, currently obliged, for the sole purpose of benefiting from these thresholds. He However, it would be unfair if real small or medium-sized businesses became the collateral victims of this action. She asks him if a reduction in the thresholds is really envisaged and, if so, if measures are planned to protect businesses essential to the rural economic fabric, so that the energy transition does not take place to the detriment of the territories.
