Overview
- The Union française de l'électricité released a blueprint to shift demand to low‑carbon power, citing France’s 95% decarbonized electricity versus roughly 60% fossil‑based overall energy use.
- Key fiscal ask targets a lower electricity excise to reach price parity with gas and heating oil, which currently face lighter taxation.
- Mobility measures include a cheaper EV‑specific driving permit, zero‑interest loans for dual‑control electric cars in driving schools, and support for young drivers to buy their first EV.
- The plan urges public‑sector exemplariness through stronger fleet electrification obligations and a possible Prime Ministerial circular favoring French‑made electric vehicles with strong eco‑scores.
- Industry and buildings proposals call for a one‑stop shop for industrial electrification, planned heat‑pump deployment with simplified procedures, and a unified portal for aid; RTE projects system savings of about €7/MWh by 2030 with deeper decarbonization.
