RN Defends €40 Billion 'Plan Clim' to Install Air Conditioning Across France

Party leaders present the measure as a public‑health adaptation paid for by state borrowing and by redirecting renovation subsidies

Overview

  • RN deputies held a National Assembly press conference to defend the detailed 10‑year 'plan clim' and confirmed it will be folded into the party’s existing '100 % Rénov’' renovation scheme.
  • The party says the package totals €40 billion, split into €20 billion for public buildings—phased as €10 billion in a first term and €10 billion in a second term—and €20 billion in zero‑interest loans for households.
  • For households the plan would offer loans capped at about €20 per month for 10 years with no means‑testing, and RN officials said the State would borrow the €20 billion on markets.
  • RN gave a financing estimate of roughly €600–700 million a year in interest at current rates and said some cost would be offset by removing direct MaPrimeRénov grants and by long‑term economic gains.
  • Critics and analysts continue to press the RN on feasibility, energy demand and implementation details, and RN spokespeople tied rollout timing to winning next year’s presidential election.
