Two days after its adoption in Parliament, here is the law of acceleration of renewable energies disputed before the Constitutional Council. The deputies of the National Rally (RN), then those of the Les Républicains group (LR), seized the institution to challenge several measures of the text voted on Tuesday, February 7, they announced on Thursday.
The RN castigates in a press release a “flight forward in favor of intermittent energies” in connection with “the lobbies of wind and solar”.
In its referral to the Constitutional Council, transmitted to the France-Presse agency, the extreme right group believes that the law creates a “rupture of equality” between the producers of renewable energy and the other energeticists.
The RN targets a pricing modulation mechanism which could be set up to support renewable energy projects in less favorable meteorological areas (article 3 bis B). The group also points out “a guarantee fund intended to compensate for part of the financial losses which would result from an cancellation by the administrative judge of an environmental authorization” (article 5 bis).
“nuisances” supposed wind turbines
RN deputies also attack the recognition of imperative reasons of major public interest (RIIPM) for certain renewable projects (article 4), a measure intended to limit certain litigation. In their eyes, it “constitutes de facto and swear an unjustified advantage significantly unbalanced the arms of the trial for the benefit of the energy operator”.
The Marine Le Pen group had scrapped throughout the debates against the bill, attacking the “nuisances” of the wind turbines. “It destroys our landscapes”, it “twists the eyes and the brain”, had ended up letting go of the deputy Pierre Meurin.
