Anah’s budget will be cut by 200 million euros in 2027. If the government plans to reduce its allocation from 1.4 to 1.2 billion euros, it is banking more on the CEEs to finance energy renovation.
There will energy renovation of housing have to be done with less money? in 2027? The first data from the finance bill in any case give cause for questioning. According to a annex to the finance billthe government plans to allocate 1.2 billion euros in payment credits to the National Housing Agency (Anah) in 2027, compared to 1.4 billion in 2026. Either 200 million euros less.
A decline which concerns the State allocation to Anahand not directly MaPrimeRénov’ budgeta nuance which is important while the financing of renovation aid evolves rapidly.
200 million euros less for Anah
L’Anah is notably responsible for distributing the main public aid for housing renovationof which MaPrimeRénov’but also MaPrimeAdapt’intended for the adaptation of housing to aging or disability. For 2027, the government justifies the reduction in its allocation by “refocusing energy renovation on decarbonization“, in accordance with the Electrification Plan, as well as by financing certain works”only by the EECs“.
In other words, the State intends to reduce its direct participation while making greater use of energy savings certificates. It remains to know the amount that will actually be devoted to MaPrimeRénov’ in 2027. Above all, the government has not yet clarified whether the drop of 200 million euros in Anah’s allocation will be compensated by the EECs.
The system ofaid for energy renovation has already been reoriented since theThe government has restricts MaPrimeRénov’ to large-scale renovations housing occupied by low-income households, as well as certain targeted works, in particular the installation of a heat pump. Conversely, many works carried out alone, within the framework of the old “MaPrimeRénov’ by gesture” deviceare now no longer financed by MaPrimeRénov’which is particularly the case for several wall, window or roof insulation operations, which must now rely mainly on EECs.
EWCs called to play an ever more important role
Energy savings certificates are financed by energy and fuel suppliers, on whom the State imposes energy savings targets. These latter now constitute a essential source of financing for energy renovation. However, this choice raises debate because the cost of EWCs is borne by the companies concerned and can, directly or indirectly, be passed on to consumers, in particular through the prices of energy and fuel.
For Maxime Ledez, researcher at the Institute of Economics for Climate (I4CE), it therefore becomes difficult to assess the level of public support for energy renovation looking only at the finance bill. The EECsnow replace MaPrimeRénov’ for gesture support“, he emphasizes, while constituting an important resource for finance major renovations.
France has set itself the objective of achieving an average of 250,000 large-scale renovations per year by 2030. However, given the first information available on the 2027 budget, the I4CE does not expect this target to be reached next year. © Magnific
In 2026, the voted budget for aid to individuals distributed by Anah reached 4.4 billion euros, including 3.6 billion for MaPrimeRénov’.
Ultimatelyfor households as well as for construction companies, behind the billions announced, it is above all the rules of eligibility, the amounts of aid and the stability of the system which determine the real capacity to launch the work. And on these three points, the 2027 budget still only provides part of the answers.
