Paris (France) (AFP) – The State allocation for 2027 in the budget of the National Housing Agency (Anah), which distributes MaPrimeRénov' aid, is down by 200 million euros, according to an annex to the government's finance bill.

As part of its private housing renovation policy, the government plans to allocate 1.2 billion euros in payment credits to Anah in 2027, compared to 1.4 billion euros in 2026.

The State allocation is decreasing "due to the refocusing of energy renovation on decarbonization, in accordance with the Electrification Plan, and the financing of actions only by the EECs", the energy saving certificates, indicates the annex published Thursday evening.

This allocation is one of the financing aids distributed by Anah, including MaPrimeRénov' for energy renovation, MaPrimeAdapt' to adapt housing to disability or old age.

At this stage, however, the government does not specify the specific budget for MaPrimeRénov', nor whether the 200 million drop in state credits will be compensated by energy saving certificates (EEC), as was the case for the 2026 budget.

The EECs finance the energy transition via private funds from energy and fuel suppliers, but the system is debated because these companies pass on all or part of its cost to consumers, particularly in prices at the pump.

The government has restricted MaPrimeRénov' to overall renovations of housing owned by low-income households and to some renovation work, such as the installation of a heat pump.

Most other work carried out in isolation (MaPrimeRénov' "by gesture"), such as the insulation of walls, windows and roofs, can now only be subsidized by CEEs.

For Maxime Ledez, researcher at the Institute of Economics for the Climate (I4CE), "it is difficult to determine the level of support for energy renovation of the private fleet just in terms of the PLF given the place taken by the CEE".

“They now replace MaPrimeRénov’ for gesture support, and will still be an important resource in the Anah budget for large-scale renovations.”

In view of this initial information, the I4CE does not expect "that France will approach the target of 250,000 large-scale renovations on average per year next year by 2030", adds Maxime Ledez.

In 2026, Anah's voted budget for aid to individuals is 4.4 billion euros, including 3.6 billion euros for MaPrimeRénov'.
