France Multiannual Energy Plan No. 3: Third Programmation Pluriannuelle De L'énergie – PPE 3

After years of expectation, the French authorities have finally delivered. The long-awaited third Multiannual Energy Programme (PPE 3) is officially underway, setting out France's energy policy framework for the few years to come.

Overview of the French Climate and Energy Strategy: France's energy and climate strategy is articulated through three main documents: the National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC) dated 12 December 2025, the Multiannual Energy Plan (PPE), and the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PNACC). They aim to ensure a coherent approach to decarbonisation by aligning mitigation and adaptation efforts across all sectors. The SNBC sets the long-term decarbonisation trajectory, while the PPE translates these goals into concrete energy policy actions for the next decade. Both are based on a common reference scenario for 2030 and 2050 and aim to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
