The government is ending several programmes to combat fuel poverty
Failing to meet the government's electrification target, up to five aid programs for the most vulnerable and communities will not be renewed at the end of the year, POLITICO reveals.
The French government has decided not to renew at least five programs aimed at combating energy poverty and supporting building renovations, POLITICO has learned. These programs, which included Actee, Toits d'abord, Territoires zéro exclusion énergétique, Tims, and Slime, targeted vulnerable households and communities and were set to expire at the end of 2027 or earlier.
The programs represented around €100 million in funding in 2026, which was financed through energy savings certificates. The government's decision reflects its focus on electrification over comprehensive building rehabilitation.
