🇬🇧 English

A public inquiry will review SPPE’s request to extend the Saint-Martin-de-Bossenay concession for liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons in the Aube department. The inquiry runs from 6 July to 5 August 2026 and gives residents, local authorities, businesses, and environmental stakeholders a formal window to inspect the file and submit comments. The file includes the application, impact notice, maps, the environmental authority’s opinion, and SPPE’s response. Interested parties should review the documents online, at the town hall, or at the prefecture, and submit observations during the inquiry period if the extension could affect land use, local environment, energy activity, or community interests.
