MaPrimeRénov', EEC bonuses, pensions, fuel prices... what changes on July 1, 2022

MaPrimeRénov' evolves

It will be possible to combine an eco-loan to finance energy renovation work with MaPrimeRénov'. The eco-loan must not exceed 30.000 euros and the work concerned (insulation of housing, change of heating mode) can already be started, but at most 6 months before the request for this interest-free loan.

The agreement of the National Housing Agency (Anah) for the allocation of MaPrimRénov' will be sufficient to constitute the file with the bank, without it being necessary to provide the list of works concerned. However, the loan must be issued within 6 months of this notification from Anah.

Only banks that have signed an agreement with the State will be able to issue this subsidized loan.

End of three EEC boosts

Three boosts for the insulation of roofs, attics and low floors, will be removed. The National Insulation Union is asking for an emergency plan and an immediate increase in the obligation for the fifth period of the CEE, up to 1.000 TWhc. The government is currently considering these requests.
