Overview

• New decrees refocus MaPrimeRénov’ on dwellings rated E to G under the energy performance diagnostic and tighten per‑project subsidy scales.
• Wall insulation and biomass boilers are removed from single‑work aid, while support continues for roof insulation and for wood or pellet stoves, with the single‑gesture framework extended through end‑2026 unless revised.
• A 5.5% VAT rate for solar installations takes effect on October 1, subject to environmental criteria that Enerplan says no current modules meet, effectively excluding many Chinese‑made panels.
• Technical texts adjust the energy‑savings certificates scheme to bolster heat‑pump demand in a struggling market.
• The Federation of French Construction denounces a "violent rabotage" and housing advocates warn the changes cut help for energy‑poor households, as the measures stand as the outgoing cabinet’s final actions.
