Le 8 septembre 2026, le Premier ministre a saisi le Conseil constitutionnel, sur le fondement du second alin\u00e9a de l\u2019article 37 de la Constitution, afin qu\u2019il se prononce sur la nature juridique de l\u2019article L. 446-57 du code de l\u2019\u00e9nergie. Cette disposition concerne l\u2019information des collectivit\u00e9s territoriales lors de l\u2019instruction des demandes relatives \u00e0 certaines installations de biogaz.<\/p>\n
Apr\u00e8s examen des textes applicables, notamment la Constitution (articles 34 et 37), la loi organique sur le Conseil constitutionnel et les codes de l\u2019\u00e9nergie et de l\u2019environnement, le Conseil rappelle qu\u2019en vertu de l\u2019article 34 de la Constitution, la loi fixe les principes fondamentaux de la libre administration des collectivit\u00e9s territoriales, de leurs comp\u00e9tences et de leurs ressources. Il pr\u00e9cise \u00e9galement que, conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 l\u2019article L. 511-1 du code de l\u2019environnement, les installations pr\u00e9sentant des dangers ou inconv\u00e9nients pour la sant\u00e9, la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ou la salubrit\u00e9 publiques, l\u2019agriculture, la nature, l\u2019environnement ou les paysages peuvent \u00eatre soumises \u00e0 un r\u00e9gime d\u2019autorisation, d\u2019enregistrement ou de d\u00e9claration.<\/p>\n
L\u2019article L. 446-57 du code de l\u2019\u00e9nergie pr\u00e9voit que, lorsqu\u2019une demande d\u2019autorisation, de d\u00e9claration ou d\u2019enregistrement est d\u00e9pos\u00e9e au titre de ce r\u00e9gime pour une installation de biogaz ou ses ouvrages connexes, l\u2019autorit\u00e9 administrative informe sans d\u00e9lai le maire de la commune concern\u00e9e et le pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019\u00e9tablissement public de coop\u00e9ration intercommunale (EPCI) concern\u00e9. Le Conseil constitutionnel juge que ces dispositions se limitent, dans le cadre d\u2019une comp\u00e9tence de l\u2019\u00c9tat, \u00e0 organiser une information sur le r\u00e9gime applicable \u00e0 certaines installations class\u00e9es pour la protection de l\u2019environnement et ne portent pas atteinte aux principes fondamentaux de la libre administration des collectivit\u00e9s territoriales, ni \u00e0 leurs comp\u00e9tences ou ressources. Elles ne mettent pas davantage en cause d\u2019autres principes ou r\u00e8gles que la Constitution r\u00e9serve au domaine de la loi.<\/p>\n
En cons\u00e9quence, dans sa s\u00e9ance du 8 octobre 2026, le Conseil constitutionnel, pr\u00e9sid\u00e9 par Richard Ferrand et compos\u00e9 de huit autres membres, d\u00e9cide que l\u2019article L. 446-57 du code de l\u2019\u00e9nergie a un caract\u00e8re r\u00e9glementaire. La d\u00e9cision sera notifi\u00e9e au Premier ministre et publi\u00e9e au Journal officiel de la R\u00e9publique fran\u00e7aise. Cette qualification confirme que les modalit\u00e9s d\u2019information des communes et des EPCI lors de l\u2019instruction des installations de biogaz rel\u00e8vent du pouvoir r\u00e9glementaire de l\u2019\u00c9tat, sans modification directe des comp\u00e9tences locales en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 publique ou de protection de l\u2019environnement.
