L'information n'est peut-être plus exacte
Are you the owner or operator of an establishment where tertiary activities are performed? In this case, you must submit your annual energy consumption data on the OPERAT platform before 31 December 2022.
Information to be submitted before 31 December 2022
Under the Tertiary Decree of 23 July 2019, which imposes an energy reduction on tertiary activities, the owners or operators of a tertiary building with an operating area of 1 000 m² or more must provide the following information:
- annual energy consumption in 2021;
- annual energy consumption in 2020;
- reference data.
Originally set for 30 September 2022, the deadline for reporting its energy consumption data has been extended to 31 December 2022 so that affected persons can correctly report their consumption. As such, the consumption data provided may be amended during 2023 so that the reference year most suited to the reduction strategy is selected by the persons subject to it.
Please note
Temporary buildings, places of worship, places used for defense, civil security or internal security purposes shall not be covered.
The OPERAT platform and its objectives
The Observatory on the Energy Performance of Renovation and Tertiary Actions (OPERAT) is a platform managed by the Environment and Energy Management Agency (Ademe).
It aims to collect energy consumption data from tertiary premises and to verify the achievement of the objectives set. This platform provides you with an annual attestation to track your progress.
When it comes to energy reduction, there are two ways to achieve your goal: achieving the goal in relative value or in absolute value.
Reaching theobjective in relative value corresponds to a final energy consumption level to be achieved based on the reference consumption. The reduction targets are - 40% for 2030, - 50% for 2040 and - 60% for 2050.
Reaching theobjective in absolute terms corresponds to the achievement of a level of energy consumption fixed by decree before the beginning of each decade (2030, 2040 and 2050).
The data to be collected beforehand
In order to inform the OPERAT platform effectively, certain actions relating to the establishment or business premises concerned are required:
- know the floor area;
- set a reference year and collect energy consumption data for that year;
- identify meters (electricity, gas, etc.) and their references;
- identify a reference framework for the annual reporting (calendar year or other 12-month period).
