The government is increasing aid to replace gas or oil boilers with renewable heating solutions

"We are going to strengthen MaPrimeRénov' in order to accelerate the replacement of fossil fuel boilers with renewable heating solutions" such as "heat pumps, including hybrids, or biomass boilers", indicated Minister Barbara Pompili during the presentation. of the plan for the resilience of the economy in the face of soaring energy prices.

"The government has decided to increase by 1.000 euros from next April 15 and until the end of 2022 the MaPrimeRénov' aid granted for the installation of a virtuous heating system which makes it possible to get out of gas or fuel" and thus reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuel imports, she said.

"To no longer encourage households to remain dependent on gas, the fixed prices for the installation of gas boilers will be stopped at the same time", added the minister.

Ms. Pompili announced parallel incentives for communities to change the heating system.

For companies, the government intends to launch an "exceptional call for projects" in early April to "accelerate the decarbonization of our industry".

“We want to target the companies most exposed to the rise in hydrocarbons so that they can speed up energy efficiency projects or projects to replace natural gas with biomass,” added the minister.
