The government agreed on Thursday to maintain "
the assent
" of the architects of the buildings of France to launch renewable energy projects in heritage areas, but asks them in a circular to be more open in the matter.
The subject is one of the sticking points of the renewable energy acceleration bill, under debate in the Assembly.
The Minister for Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher explained to the deputies that she had signed a "
fairly precise
" circular, intended for the architects of the buildings of France (ABF) to "
frame the way of instructing these projects
", in particular in terms of photovoltaic panels.

"
We have an objective of deploying renewable energies and it is reconcilable with a certain number of precautions, with the protection of heritage
", she assured, about this circular which she "
has just signed
" with Culture Minister Rima Abdul-Malak.
The deputies voted for a "
balance
" amendment by the deputy of the presidential camp Bastien Marchive.
It maintains “
the assent of the ABF on architectural projects in protected areas
” while “
integrating the objectives of developing renewable energies and energy renovation of buildings into the criteria that they must take into account when drafting their opinions.
".
Agnès Pannier-Runacher supported him by evoking his circular to "
guide the work
" of the architects of the buildings of France and "
that they take into account the evolution of technologies, such as solar tiles
".
The Macronist rapporteur Pierre Cazeneuve defended a "
balanced position
" to "
advance and evolve the doctrine
" of architects.
He regretted that a “
certain number of ABFs
” still hold “
a somewhat dogmatic position on the subject and block a significant number ” of “
rooftop photovoltaic
” projects
.
The amendment was adopted in a consensual atmosphere.

During the rest of the debates, the presidential camp was on the other hand beaten with two rebellious amendments aimed at facilitating referral to the National Commission for Public Debate (CNDP) on renewable energy (EnR) projects, for a "
consultation
" with the citizens.
In the morning, the Assembly also voted to integrate into this text dedicated to EnR the “
recovery of waste
”, a “
source of useful energy
” according to the Macronist deputy Danielle Brulebois.
LFI, environmentalists and an elected Liot spoke out against it, stressing that the waste did not come under renewable energies and that such a measure could encourage the production of waste and the development of incinerators.
