Good news for anyone planning to carry out energy-efficiency renovations: the MaPrimeRénov' scheme reopens from 30 September 2025. But be warned, the recovery will not be the same as before.
The government has decided to tighten access conditionsbut with stricter rules and a limited number of applications. In other words, if you want to benefit from this aid, you need to get organised now.
📌 Concrete changes in 2025
🎯 A limit of 13,000 files
One of the main new features is the number of applications accepted. This year, only 13,000 comprehensive renovations can be financed between now and the end of December. This ceiling has been put in place to prevent the budget allocated to the scheme from being overspent again.
👉 In plain English: first come, first served. If you have a project in mind, don't delay too long.
👥 Who is this new version of MaPrimeRénov' aimed at?
🧾 Stricter resource conditions
Priority is given to very low-income householdsin accordance with the income ceilings set by Anah. An extension to households modest is possible, but only if the number of files remains below the threshold.
🏚️ Targeting energy-hungry homes
Only homes classified as E, F or G in the ECD (Diagnostic de Performance Énergétique) are eligible. Better-rated properties (A to D) are now excluded from the scheme.
⚠️ Le bonus for thermal sieve output (F or G homes downgraded to E or better) has also been removed.
💶 What amounts will be covered in 2025?
📉 Lower work ceilings
The calculation of aid is now based on more limited amounts:
- 30 000 € for a gain of 2 energy classes ;
- 40 000 € if your project will save 3 classes or more.
💡 This reduction is intended to enable more projects to be funded within a constrained budgetary framework.
🛑 Why this tougher approach?
There are three main reasons for this tightening:
- 📈 An explosion in demand last spring, difficult to absorb.
- 💰 A budget limited to €3.6 billion for 2025.
- 🚨 An upsurge in fraud Out of 16,000 suspected cases, 5,000 confirmed cases were identified.
The government intends to better control of files and to ensure that subsidies are allocated to households that are actually eligible.
🛠️ How do you prepare your MaPrimeRénov' application?
📄 Step 1: Have an ECD carried out
This diagnosis is essential to check whether your home is classified as E, F or G, a mandatory condition for receiving aid.
🧾 Step 2: Gather all the supporting documents
Prepare in advance:
- Your notice of assessment ;
- From quotes from RGE-certified tradesmen ;
- A proof of ownership or lease if you are a tenant.
📅 Step 3: Be ready by 30 September
Le guichet officially reopens on 30 september 2025. Applications will be accepted within the limit of the first 13,000 complete applications.
⌛ Step 4: Anticipate processing times
Projects approved at the end of the year will most likely be dealt with in early 2026subject to the vote on the Finance Act.
