On 21 December 2023, the Commission approved with the decision SA. 3 billion French scheme to support non-fossil technologies to ensure electricity supply matches demand.
Aids for the energy renovation of buildings in France include several schemes such as MaPrimeRénov', the zero-rate eco-loan and the Energy Savings Certificates (CEE). MaPrimeRénov' offers financial support to individuals to carry out energy renovation work, thus improving the efficiency of homes.
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the French scheme is in line with EU State aid rules, as it will facilitate the development of renewable electricity production from various technologies in France and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in line with the European Green Deal and without unduly distorting competition.
January 11, 2024: The European Commission said on January 8 it had given the go-ahead to state aid plans worth a total of nearly €4 billion ($4.4 billion) for batteries, raw materials and renewables projects in France and Germany.
Aids and subsidies in France are essential to accelerate the ecological transition by reducing CO2 emissions. Schemes such as MaPrimeRénov', the ecological bonus and European programs help individuals, businesses and communities to adopt sustainable practices.
The Commission assessed the measure under EU State aid rules, in particular the 2014 Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy. The Commission found that the aid is necessary to further develop the renewable energy generation to meet France's environmental goals.
In France, subsidies are available for the purchase of clean vehicles, such as the conversion premium and the ecological bonus. The conversion bonus encourages the replacement of old vehicles with more ecological models, with financial assistance according to the eligibility criteria.
