Five times more requests for energy renovations in Paris

Every month, some 300 new condominiums register on CoachCopro to benefit from technical and financial support from the Paris Climate Agency (APC) as part of the Eco-rénovons Paris scheme, i.e. "five times more than in March 2022", welcomed during a press briefing Jacques Baudrier, deputy for the construction of the mayor (PS) Anne Hidalgo and elected communist of the XNUMXth arrondissement.

In total, 7.000 of the 47.000 Parisian condominiums are registered on the platform, i.e. approximately 260.000 dwellings.

"This report goes beyond our expectations, we are clearly in an explosion of the renovation of condominiums in Paris, and fortunately, since it is essential to save the climate", declared Mr. Baudrier.

Among the factors of this craze, the explosion of energy prices since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and the strengthening of prohibitions related to the sale and rental of thermal sieves.

"There is also a growing concern for the habitability of housing in a context of adaptation of buildings to heat waves. Projections show that we will very quickly have in Paris the climate of a city like Seville", specified Dan Lert, EELV Assistant for Ecological Transition.

Since 2009, the City of Paris has financed 60.000 social housing renovations out of a total of 250.000, of which 20.000 have been completed.

In the private sector, which represents more than 75% of main residences, the pace is much lower with only 2.000 homes renovated per year.

After launching the "Eco-renovating Paris" support system in 2016, the town hall adopted in July an "Eco-renovating Paris+" plan with a budget of 58 million euros, in order to open up its aid to a maximum of condominiums. Eighty percent are now eligible.

"To achieve the objectives of the Climate plan, we must reach 40.000 renovated homes per year in 2030, it's a huge step to climb", admitted Mr. Baudrier for whom, in the long term, the budget of the town hall devoted to renovation should reach 250 million euros per year.
