-
Double stable low-carbon electricity production using nuclear power and renewables.
-
The visual calls for energy nationalisation; legal scope, companies and implementation are not detailed in this item.
-
The Fabien Roussel poster repeats the call for energy nationalisation without specifying scope or implementation; it is a second representation of the same message.
-
The poster depicting a fuel pump calls for price controls, lower taxes and nationalisation of TotalEnergies; it specifies no target price or tax rate.
-
Unify public energy provision with public and social control of EDF, Engie and TotalEnergies, phase out fossil fuels and greatly increase low-carbon electricity through both nuclear and renewable sources.
French Communist Party statement (2026)
-
The scenario assumes universal access to holidays, mobility, adequately sized/heated housing and quality food, with 970 TWh of electricity in 2050; expand nuclear and renewables. These are assumptions/pathways of the 2023 model.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Plan nuclear/renewable supply chains, sites, recruitment and capacity through 2050 with long-term industrial commitments and generation margins for uncertainty; favour proven or near-mature technologies.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme

PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Of the 970 TWh envisaged for 2050, allocate 43 TWh to hydrogen exported to neighbours, particularly Germany; French needs are 927 TWh. Strengthen storage, interconnections and demand flexibility; a complete mix/flexibility study remains to be done.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Moderate consumption without depriving low-income households, targeting affluent use and efficiency: projected savings 104 TWh in 2050,94 electricity/10 biomass, chiefly aviation 80, smaller vehicles 9, freight shifts/short supply chains 8 and durable goods 6 TWh. The displayed breakdown totals 103 TWh, with no explanation for the difference in the document.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Fossil-free aviation/sea/inland-water scenario for 2050:27 TWh/year low-carbon kerosene, 17 diesel and 3 liquefied methane, requiring 32 TWh biomass, 32 hydrogen and 7 direct electricity, equivalent to 52 TWh total electricity in the authors’ calculation.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
End oil heating by 2030 and gas before 2050, more than halve energy wood and reduce resistance heaters; heat pumps serve 65% of homes/70% commercial floor area, complemented by district heat. Heating scenario for 2050:166 TWh/year, including 102 electricity, 31 wood and 33 district heat.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme

Industrial 2050 scenario: 245 TWh electricity (61% of use), 48 TWh biogas for non-electrifiable heat and 20 TWh hydrogen chiefly steel/ammonia, potentially more if biogas falls short. Retain hydrocarbons as plastics feedstock, not fuel; do not assume an energy-intensive complete methanol substitution.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Accelerate renewables under public control without saturating territories: solar 8 GW/year from 2028,106 GW installed by 2035 then 178 GW in 2045 (218 TWh/year); expansion would cover nearly all additional needs before 2035, aside from then-planned Flamanville.

PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Envisage a 160 GW winter peak in 2050 and dispatchable capacity 114 GW reference/79 GW stress, insufficient alone; combine dispatchable generation, demand, interconnections and storage. The sizing feasibility study had not been performed; orientations remain revisable.

-
Double existing pumped-hydro power and energy (110 GW h, 4.2 GW pumping/4.9 GW generation baseline), starting early for pre 2040 commissioning; envisage tens of GW of batteries by 2050 subject to the future study, with batteries/flywheels for grid stability.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Alternative stress scenario: new reactors delayed 5 years and only 19 extended to 70 years, leaving 48.8 GW nuclear in 2050; compensate with 285 GW solar, 73 GW onshore and 51 GW offshore wind, annual 10 GW solar/2 GW onshore from 2030 and growth through 2050. Anticipate this risk or use that scenario as baseline, then slow down if nuclear is delivered.

PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Support Cigéo geological storage and a complementary site for waste labelled “FMA-VL” in this passage; assess extended/new-fleet storage needs in the update announced for mid-2024. This records political support without independently endorsing the safety claim.
Note: The text uses « FMA-VL » after earlier using « FA-VL ».
