INFO THE FIGARO – The government provides for an exceptional law which will apply throughout the five-year term. Objective: to catch up with the French delay in renewables.
Prices per megawatt hour are soaring, France has to reopen a coal-fired power station to get through the winter… There is an urgent need to produce more carbon-free electricity. The Head of State mentioned this imperative in his July 14 speech. The law project “renewable energy acceleration”what Le Figaro was able to consult, sets the presidential will to music. It was sent on Friday for consultation with industry players.
A way for the government to show, after weeks of heat wave, that it is tackling the subject of global warming. Also a way to “respond to the current urgency to achieve our goals and improve the country’s energy independence”, we explain in the entourage of the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne. The bill should be presented to the Council of Ministers in September, then to Parliament in October.
