1st half of July each year.

The decree of July 20th, 2012 modifying the decree of January 11th, 2008 creating a BPE identifies three audiences, corresponding to three levels of diffusion.

• The public files and thematic databases on Insee.fr : these are counts, going down to the level of Iris, on the entire territory including the five French overseas departments. From 2013, many types of equipment were gradually provided with their coordinates (x,y). This concerns the entire 2020 BPE. Since 2018, an evolution database on a five-year period offers, depending on the geographical level, counts or indicators of presence/absence by type of equipment.

• An extract from the database is provided free of charge since the application of the law of October 7th, 2016 for a digital Republic, to persons of public law and to persons of private law charged with a public service mission, more commonly called regional public actors (APR), subject to the signing of a user license. APRs can have the file in their jurisdiction with additional variables (company name, address).

• The file for contributors (BPE suppliers) is provided free of charge within the framework of agreements.

The diffusion of studies from the BPE is authorized.
