Strategic Energy and Minerals Initiative Act of 2021 This bill requires federal actions to increase competition in global energy and critical minerals markets. It also reauthorizes through December 31, 2031, the Export-Import Bank. Specifically, the bill authorizes the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation to provide support for energy projects and for producing, processing, manufacturing, or recycling critical minerals. The corporation may not prohibit or restrict its support based on the type of energy involved in a project. The Department of the Treasury must direct the U.S. executive directors at multilateral development banks to oppose restricting assistance to developing countries based on the type of energy involved. Additionally, the bill includes provisions related to the Export-Import Bank, including to direct the bank to establish a strategic energy and minerals portfolio focused on providing financing for projects related to civil nuclear energy infrastructure, natural gas infrastructure, and critical minerals; increase, for each of FY2021-FY2031, the authorized aggregate amount of loans, guarantees, and insurance that the bank may have outstanding; and prohibit the bank from guaranteeing, insuring, or extending credit for the purchase of any nuclear material, equipment, or technology not provided for under a specified agreement. The Department of Energy may make guarantees for projects that increase the domestic supply of critical minerals. The federal government must fully implement the recommendations made in the Department of Commerce's report titled A Federal Strategy to Ensure the Secure and Reliable Supplies of Critical Minerals , published in June 2019.

M. Yves Hemedinger interroge Mme la ministre du travail, de l'emploi et de l'insertion sur la nature du soutien du territoire post-Fessenheim par le Gouvernement suite aux annonces de la suppression d'emplois de l'usine Mars-Wrigley à Biesheim. Mardi 21 septembre 2021, lors des questions d'actualité, M. le député interrogeait M. le Premier ministre sur l'abandon, par le Gouvernement, du territoire dit « post-Fessenheim » après la fermeture de sa centrale nucléaire et la récente annonce de l'entreprise Mars-Wrigley de la suppression de près de 280 emplois dans son usine de Biesheim. Mme la ministre lui a répondu en annonçant que le Gouvernement aurait accompagné la fermeture de la centrale en soutenant 21 projets pour 284 millions d'euros d'investissements industriels sur le territoire post-Fessenheim. Très intéressé et surtout surpris par ces annonces, il souhaiterait que Mme la ministre lui communique la liste de ces projets soutenus par le Gouvernement.
France · National Assembly · 9 May 2021
M. Michel Larive attire l'attention de Mme la ministre de la transition écologique sur les conséquences sociales de la mise en place de l'accès régulé à l'électricité nucléaire historique (ARENH). D'après les données du ministère de la transition écologique et solidaire, 5,8 millions de foyers ont besoin du chèque énergie chaque année pour se chauffer. L'Observatoire de la précarité énergétique, lui, a évalué à 20 % la part des ménages en situation de précarité énergétique. Le Secours catholique estimait en 2017 que « la précarité énergétique frappe d'abord les plus pauvres, qui n'ont pas les moyens de régler des factures dont le montant ne cesse de croître ». Pour François Boulot, chargé de mission pour l'association, « l'énergie est devenue, après l'alimentation, le deuxième poste d'aides du Secours Catholique ». « En dix ans, ces aides à l'énergie ont quasiment doublé. [...] Payer 130 euros de chauffage par mois, c'est impossible quand on vit sous le seuil de pauvreté ». Pour la socio-anthropologue Joanna Lees, le phénomène représente « une nouvelle figure de la relégation sociale ». D'autres associations d'aide aux plus démunis comme les Petits frères des pauvres et la Fondation abbé Pierre ont-elles aussi tiré la sonnette d'alarme sur le fait que de plus en plus de personnes précaires doivent choisir entre manger et se chauffer en hiver. Cette situation est indigne d'un pays civilisé qui, en 1946, avait fondé Électricité de France pour que tout le monde bénéficie de l'électricité à un coût modéré et sans interruption. Mais, depuis 2010, pour se conformer aux pressions de la Commission européenne, la France a mis en place la loi NOME, puis, en 2011, le dispositif pour l'accès régulé à l'énergie nucléaire historique (ARENH), afin d'ouvrir à la concurrence le secteur stratégique de l'énergie. Ces dispositions législatives obligent aujourd'hui EDF à céder à ses nouveaux « concurrents » 100 térawatt-heure (TWh), soit un quart de sa production annuelle d'électricité, alors qu'aucun de ces « fournisseurs » n'a encore réellement investi dans les coûteuses infrastructures dont on a besoin pour produire de l'électricité. Le Comité de liaison des entreprises ayant exercé leur éligibilité sur le marché libre de l'électricité (CLEEE) préconiserait d'augmenter encore cette part de l'ARENH de 100 à 200 TWh, tandis que la Commission européenne négocie toujours avec le prisme de la « concurrence libre et non faussée ». Pourtant, c'est bien de façon complètement biaisée que ce dispositif permet aux nouveaux fournisseurs d'énergie de réaliser des marges confortables au détriment d'EDF. En effet, l'entreprise doit brader ses mégawatt-heure (MWh) 42 euros au lieu des 155 euros en moyenne facturés par MWh au ménages français. Or le coût de production de l'électricité est estimé à 49,50 euros le MWh pour l'énergie nucléaire, 70 à 100 euros/MWh pour l'énergie thermique au gaz, 82 euros/MWh pour l'éolien et jusqu'à 142,50 euros/MWh pour l'énergie solaire. Même si l'énergie hydroélectrique elle, ne coûte que 15 à 20 euros/MWh, elle représentait seulement 11,2 % de la production électrique totale en 2019. L'ARENH contraint donc EDF à vendre à perte aux autres fournisseurs une partie de l'énergie qu'elle produit. Cette situation réduit indubitablement les marges de manœuvres financières qui permettraient éventuellement à EDF d'alléger un peu les factures des ménages. Devant l'absurde de cette situation et compte tenu de l'urgence sociale actuelle, le maintien du dispositif ARENH paraît injustifié. Il lui demande ce qu'elle pense de l'impact financier de l'ARENH sur l'entreprise EDF et si ce dispositif est de nature à permettre la « concurrence libre et non faussée » entre les fournisseurs d'énergie. Il souhaiterait aussi savoir ce qu'elle compte faire pour atténuer l'impact sur les ménages de la hausse du prix de l'électricité, dont certains observateurs estiment qu'elle pourrait atteindre 10 % dès 2022.

244. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the SEAI 2020 Energy Security Report identifies small scale nuclear energy as a potentially viable solution for Ireland; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that the legislation does not permit nuclear fission electricity generation here but does not prevent the use of such electricity if it is generated in a different country which severely restricts EirGrid and State research bodies from examining nuclear energy as an option for Ireland to use fully decarbonised electricity (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Climate Leadership and Environmental Action for our Nation’s Future Act or the CLEAN Future Act This bill creates requirements and incentives to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The bill establishes an interim goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to at least 50% below 2005 levels by 2030 as well as a national goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Each federal agency must develop a plan to achieve the goals. Beginning in 2023, retail electricity suppliers must provide an increasing percentage of electricity that is generated without the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (zero-emission electricity). By 2035, the suppliers must provide 100% zero-emission electricity or demonstrate alternative means of compliance. For example, the suppliers may buy credits under a trading program that allows entities to buy, sell, and trade credits to demonstrate compliance. The bill also establishes a variety of requirements, programs, and incentives to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by modernizing the electric grid and supporting clean energy microgrids; increasing the use of renewable energy and advanced nuclear power technologies; increasing energy efficiency in buildings, homes, and appliances; supporting clean transportation, including electric vehicles and related charging infrastructure; issuing greenhouse gas standards for certain vehicles, engines, and aircraft; promoting manufacturing and industrial decarbonization, including through buy-clean programs; supporting environmental justice efforts; and reducing methane, plastics, and super pollutants.
