Emmanuelle Wargon, president of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE), estimated on Wednesday that it will be necessary to “adjust” the renewable energy development rate, to “take into account the discrepancy” on the side of the demand for electricity. Prime Minister François Bayrou on Monday announced the postponement “for the end of summer” of the Decree on Energy Programming of several years (PPE), France’s Energy Roadmap during the next 10 years. This must put France on the path of carbon neutrality in 2050, and details the consumption and production objectives in France.
According to her, “in this perspective, it is necessary to continue developing renewable energies, while waiting for the implementation of the new nuclear”, not before 2038 at best, “and supports the demand for electricity.” “The next adoption of the PPE may require adjusting the development rate of certain renewable energy objectives to take into account the application for application and guarantee the correct integration of renewable energies in the electrical system,” he adds.
“Continue mobilizing the nuclear and hydraulic park”
In a statement Echo On Wednesday, Emmanuelle Wargon also indicates that “it may be necessary to adjust certain objectives in terms of electricity supply, because demand has been late.”
On Tuesday, France Renewable, the professional organization that brings together more than 360 members, professionals of renewable electrical energy, had deplored the postponement of the Decree on the PPE, calling the Government to “publish it without delay to relaunch the essential bidders for the development of the French industrial sectors of renewable electricity.”
