FIEEC's call for its 100th anniversary: ​​political convergence on energy strategy and the electrification of uses is imperative and urgent

The FIEEC structures the sector and supports industrial companies to enable them to become global leaders in their field. Its ambition is to continue preparing and facilitating the emergence of tomorrow's leaders.

“For the next 100 years, electrification is our major lever”

Faced with the climate emergency, these players are developing and offering technological and digital solutions whose deployment is a vital necessity for the next 100 years.

But to achieve this, we must successfully complete the ecological transition. The only lever that will allow us to achieve carbon-free energy is through electric power. The same is true for digital challenges, which also require a strategic vision and coherent resources.

The FIEEC therefore calls on the government and all political leaders to unite nationally around our country's energy policy. This is too important an issue to allow it to become hostage to political and short-term disputes.

The FIEEC urgently calls for consistency on electricity taxation, on the Energy Performance Diagnosis (DPE) which penalizes millions of French people who have made the rational choice of electric energy, on the hesitations of the MaPrimRénov system, the keystone of the electrification of housing, on the publication of the Multiannual Energy Programming (PPE), the fruit of many months of work and necessary for investment.

The State must provide clear leadership, as was the case with the deployment of fiber optics, for example, decided in 2016 and now a reality for the French people. We have been able to demonstrate our ability to concretely achieve an industrial objective, thanks to clear and ambitious political leadership.

The French electrical and digital sector is one of the few industrial jewels to shine on the global stage and is a source of French pride. Let's not squander it through a lack of political vision: the FIEEC calls on the government to commit real resources to achieve France's industrial and environmental ambitions.
