A bill should be presented to the Council of Ministers at the start of the school year to further develop renewable energies in France. The government is below its production targets.

The installation of wind turbines near homes is a subject that is often controversial. In 70% of cases, wind projects are subject to appeals before the administrative courts. In an attempt to convince, the government could consider offering a discount of several hundred euros on the electricity bill if a wind turbine is installed less than five kilometers from a home.

In the Allier, Jocelyne Roux no longer wants wind turbines near her home, even with this proposal. In the village, the question divides and the opponents remain numerous, even in the event of an economic discount. For some observers, it is above all a question of lack of consultation that is at the center of regular opposition from local residents. France needs more renewables to meet its production targets.
