With the unexpected approval of the government, the National Assembly on Thursday abolished the principle of discounts on invoices in favor of residents of renewable energy installations, within the framework of the examination of a bill providing for the acceleration of these energies.
The deputies voted on amendments revising the system which was proposed for territorial sharing of the value of renewable energies. This was to facilitate its acceptability.
The rebates are a sticking point because the national application of energy prices is a precious good, had warned the Socialist deputies, by the voice of Marie-Nolle Battistel. Their PCF, EELV and LFI allies were also very much against it, pointing to a false good solution. This amounts to saying that a renewable energy park is a damage that should be compensated, underlined the rebellious Clémence Guett.
The right had also mentioned a vague article of the bill: the sharing of value resembles the purchase of consent, according to Jrme Nury (LR). For Nicolas Meizonnet (RN), there should be real compensation and not ridiculous rebates.
Many have questioned this return to the inhabitants and it must be taken into account, therefore declared the Minister for Energy Transition Agns Pannier-Runacher, relying on the wisdom of the Assembly.
She suggested favoring the financing of projects by renewable energy producers: for the territories, and nationally for the protection of biodiversity.
The deputies validated government amendments providing for making the financing of these funds compulsory from June 2024, the terms of which will be set by decree. The Socialists have made it clear that the municipalities, through territorial funds, will be able to help low-income households suffering from fuel poverty.

In the home straight in the evening, the deputies adopted amendments to shorten the connection time for renewable electricity installations, or to set the objective of an overseas electricity production mix composed of 100% ENR in 2030.
Earlier, the Assembly had experienced a brief heat stroke between Matthias Tavel (LFI) and Grgoire de Fournas (RN), with a suspension of the session at stake.
Mr. Tavel clearly treated Mr. de Fournas as a racist, I just ask that this arrest, this defamation of Mr. de Fournas be recorded in the minutes, launched Emeric Salmon (RN).
Mr. de Fournas had been excluded 15 days in November for having launched in the hemicycle that he returns to Africa during an intervention on the migrants of the deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo, born of parents of Congolese and Angolan origin.
