Tertiary Sector Decree: 2025 Consumption Figures Must Be Reported by September 30

Hotels larger than 1,000 m² were required to report their 2025 energy consumption on the OPERAT public platform by September 30 at the latest. This annual report helps track progress toward the goal set by the Tertiary Sector Decree: to reduce energy consumption by 40% by 2030 compared to a base year. According to the latest report from ADEME, reported energy consumption in the commercial building sector has already fallen by 26%, and nearly half of all buildings are meeting the 2030 target.

Introduction

This document presents the key findings from the energy consumption reports submitted via OPERAT through the end of 2025. OPERAT is the platform that collects energy consumption reports from third-sector entities subject to the Eco-Energy Tertiary Program. In this document, you will find key figures on the platform’s usage, consumption levels, and the targets assigned to participants by activity category, as well as analyses of trends in reported consumption over the years and information on the measures implemented to improve reporting.

Three key takeaways emerge from this analysis:

• The growing adoption of the system by taxpayers, as evidenced by an increasing number of tax returns
• Achievement of the 2030 goals for nearly half of the Subject Functional Entities (EFAs)
• The Gradual Reduction in Energy Consumption
