MaPrimeRénov’ Payments Frozen Due to Unapproved 2025 Budget
The delay in approving France's 2025 budget has halted energy renovation aid payments, raising concerns for homeowners and the construction sector.
- The French government has frozen MaPrimeRénov’ payments for energy renovations due to the lack of an approved 2025 budget.
- Applications submitted before January 1, 2025, will still be processed and paid without additional delays, but newer applications face indefinite payment postponements.
- Construction industry groups, including the FFB and CAPEB, warn that the freeze jeopardizes hundreds of thousands of jobs and the viability of small and medium-sized enterprises.
- Professionals fear that the uncertainty will discourage homeowners from pursuing planned renovation projects, further impacting the sector's revenue, which reached €30 billion in 2023.
- The Ministry of Housing has reassured the public that applications can still be submitted and will be reviewed, but payment delays will persist until the budget is approved.
