French Energy Roadmap Faces Delays as Political Tensions Mount

The 2025–2035 energy plan targeting carbon neutrality awaits decree after parliamentary review, with debates highlighting nuclear-renewables divide and procedural opposition.

Maxime Amblard, député du Rassemblement national et ancien ingénieur en physique nucléaire, préférerait, comme son parti, que les investissements concernent le nucléaire plus que les énergies renouvelables.
Séance à l'Assemblée nationale, le 8 avril 2025
A Ploubazlanec (Côtes-d'Armor), le 19 septembre 2024.
Lundi, François Bayrou a officiellement amorcé, en France, un retour à la « raison » énergétique, devant une Assemblée nationale quasiment déserte.

Overview

  • The French government’s third multiannual energy program (PPE3) aims to cut fossil fuel reliance to 30% by 2035 and increase low-carbon electricity to 39%.
  • Prime Minister François Bayrou announced the decree’s publication is postponed to late summer, following a parliamentary review of a law proposal in June.
  • A bipartisan working group, led by Antoine Armand and Daniel Gremillet, will present findings in May to refine the energy roadmap.
  • The Rassemblement National continues to demand a full parliamentary vote, threatening censure if bypassed, while debates in the National Assembly and Senate remain non-voting.
  • The plan reignites tensions over nuclear power expansion versus renewable energy development, with industry stakeholders urging clarity to guide investments.
