Public Service Minister Stanislas Guerini and several unions sketched out the first ways to reduce energy consumption in the administration on Friday, before the presentation of a complete plan expected at the end of September.

Invited Friday morning on CNews to detail his areas of work in terms of energy sobriety, while the government aims to reduce energy consumption by 10% by 2024, Stanislas Guerini notably cited "

Strengthen telework

Can we imagine that on a given day, we could have agents telecommute to be able to close a building, not heat it, light it?

asked the minister.

A track that aroused the wrath of the Solidaires FP union (6th union), for which the minister “

now proposes that the agents pay the bills instead of the State!

by making them work from home.

Stanislas Guerini was speaking almost two months after the launch of the “

Exemplary State

” working group , which brings together the administration, the unions, experts and energy specialists to find levers for reducing energy consumption.

As part of this consultation, several representative organizations were received this week and others are invited in the coming days by the administration.

Other working groups have been launched in parallel by the government with representatives of companies, supermarkets or local authorities, around the same objective of sobriety.

As far as administration is concerned, a complete plan is announced for the end of September.

As of Friday, the Unsa FP union put forward a series of proposals on its site.

The fourth public service union insists in particular on the need to involve agents in the discussions, and to train them in the "

major issues of ecological transition, eco-responsibility, climate change and the interest of energy sobriety

" .

.

Contacted by AFP, the CFDT (2nd union) for its part insisted on the importance of a "

positive discourse

".

Sobriety is not rationing

,” insisted its secretary general Mylène Jacquot, who invites the state to provide sufficient financial means.

If teleworking were to be reinforced, the representative of the CFDT pleads to revalue the daily allowance, currently set at 2.5 euros, a sum defined “

before the significant increases in energy costs

”.
