The National Assembly voted on Friday a series of provisions of the bill aimed at accelerating the production of renewable energy. The examination at first reading, started on Monday, continued on Friday without major setbacks for the presidential camp. The majority deputies made several compromises with the left in good will to obtain its support on this text.
In the evening, the deputies adopted with 42 votes against 6 a measurement making the installation of photovoltaic umbridges compulsory in external car parks of more than 1,500 m2.
The Assembly also voted for environmental amendments reducing the scope of the expected derogations, as well as identical amendments from the left and majority deputies removing the initially optional nature of the sanctions and making them systematic in the event of non-compliance obligation.
An LFI amendment doubling these sanctions (at 20,000 euros and 40,000 euros, depending on the size of the parking lot) was also adopted with the support of the government.
Against the government’s opinion this time, the deputies adopted an environmental amendment conditioning any new construction of collective social housing by private HLM organizations to the installation of renewable energy equipment (ENR).
The left, on the other hand, failed to obtain the restoration of a measure to which it held a lot, introduced by the Senate and deleted in committee in the Assembly, which made the installation of “ENR processes” compulsory on existing non -residential buildings of more than 250 m2.
The assembly has also adopted new derogations from the “coastal” law to implement photovoltaic installations or hydrogen production in coastal areas on wasteland.
It voted in favor of an article allowing the installation of solar power plants on the ground “in discontinuity of town planning” in certain mountain municipalities which cannot today do it.
But the presidential camp has suffered a failure with the abolition of the possibility of a simple consultation of the online public for certain photovoltaic projects, rather than a “public inquiry”.
This article, rejected by 37 votes to 33, was part of the simplification measures requested by the executive to accelerate the development of renewables, late in France. From RN to LFI, all the oppositions voted against.
