Traveling to Ain in Saint-Vulbas, a town hosting the Bugey plant, Valérie Pécresse made energy the theme of her visit.
Presidential candidate LR denounced "irresponsible and inconsistent decisions" such as the closure of the Fessenheim power plant and that scheduled for 12 additional reactors by 2035, diagnosing "a real energy disaster" in France.
Emmanuel Macron's "zigzag" energy policy is "leading us straight into the wall" and "we no longer have the assurance of being supplied", she said after a round table. organized by local LR elected officials in which industrialists and energy players took part.
New EPRs on the horizon
The president of the Ile-de-France region has thus advocated "a Gaullian recovery plan for energy with a massive remobilization of nuclear power", which already involves "a reflection" on the construction of new EPRs, at the beyond the six planned for 2035. “The first thing I will ask my Prime Minister is to establish a major rescue plan for EDF, this very large company” that “the government has brought to its knees by collecting the revenue it needs for its investments and the renewal of the nuclear fleet”, further criticized Valérie Pécresse.
While the French presidency of the EU will continue six weeks after her eventual election, the candidate has undertaken to “include nuclear power in the low-carbon energies to be financed by the EU”.
“The objective is to have this sector recognized as participating in the ecological challenge of the century, zero carbon”, which “we will not achieve” without this recovery plan.
Wind power, a “very sensitive issue”
Candidate LR was more reserved on the "very sensitive issue" of wind power: "In some areas, we have reached or even exceeded the population's tolerance threshold" and any new fields "must be done" with his agreement ".
Its energy project also includes “obviously renewable energies”, in particular “in local supply”.
In terms of thermal renovation of housing, it finally proposed the “merger” of the Livret A and the sustainable development booklet into a “green booklet” allowing the Caisse des dépôts et consignations to “finance loans”.
