France to Reopen MaPrimeRénov’ to All Households Within Days

Overview

• Housing minister Vincent Jeanbrun said the grant portal will fully reopen for everyone once the 2026 budget is formally promulgated, which he described as a matter of days.
• The 2026 allocation stands at €3.6 billion, roughly level with last year but designed to cost the state less through greater use of energy savings certificates provided by suppliers.
• Anah’s targets are 150,000 single measures and 120,000 whole‑home renovations, yet the end‑2025 stock of about 83,000 pre‑validated files will crowd out many new applicants, with reporting estimating roughly 37,000 new comprehensive projects accepted.
• Upfront anti‑fraud screening will tighten with more filters to verify identities and documents after widespread small attempts, with the ministry citing €229 million in fraud prevented in 2024 and AI‑assisted schemes seen in 2025.
• Policy tweaks narrow some single‑work aid in 2026—no funding for wall insulation or wood boilers and high earners excluded for window changes—while other routes such as the zero‑interest eco‑loan, CEE bonuses, a proposed renovation bank and private offers like Vasco’s equity financing gain prominence.
