MaPrimeRénov', the main lever of financial support for the energy transition in housing, will be put on pause from July 2025. According to a source close to the matter, the funds earmarked for the entire year have already been used up, leading to an unprecedented interruption in this public aid. This decision threatens the projects of thousands of households wishing to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
According to the figures provided, the French government had earmarked 2.3 billion euros for the 2025 scheme. However, by early June, these funds had already been committed, due to the high cost of certain sites combining several works. The government justifies this pause by the need to contain public spending.
Households whose applications have already been validated should receive the aid, despite possible delays. However, no new applications can be processed between now and the end of 2025. This abrupt measure is upsetting the plans of private individuals and worrying industry professionals.
In the entourage of Housing Minister Valérie Létard, they prefer to emphasize a desire for rationalization. The fight against fraud is becoming a priority, with the aim of speeding up processing times and preventing abuse. However, there is widespread criticism of the hasty implementation of the new law.
