The Minister of Ecological Transition Barbara Pompili announced in March the upgrading of the Ma Prime Rénov 'system with the establishment of a new bonus in 2022!

The government's objective is to promote a transition to greener and more sustainable energy. This aid is part of the resilience plan presented by Prime Minister Jean Castex during the month of March, supposed to support the French in the face of rising consumer and energy prices. This bonus could even reach up to 9,000 euros for certain types of renovations, but the Government has not provided further information on this subject. The Ma Prime Rénov' scheme has been accessible to all households since last year, without income conditions. New this year, an entirely dedicated interactive site guides you in renovating your home. France Rénov' is a new public service supported by the State with local authorities and piloted by the National Housing Agency (Anah). The system includes a website, a single telephone number for all your procedures and a network of more than 450 physical spaces throughout France
Attention, households wishing to carry out work in their home will now have to face a tightening of the eligibility rules for the Ma Prime Rénov' scheme:
Since January 1, 2020, Ma Prime Rénov' has replaced the energy transition tax credit (CITE) and the aid from the National Housing Agency (Anah) "Living better agility" and "Living better serenity". The system is accessible to all owners and all housing condominiums built for at least 15 years, as indicated by a decree of December 30.
Until now, Ma Prime Rénov' was aimed at owners of homes that had been completed for more than two years. This rule continues to apply in only one case: when you want to hire a site to change your old oil boiler. Another noteworthy change is that the owner occupying the accommodation to be renovated must occupy it for at least 8 months per year. "The owner undertakes to occupy his accommodation as his main residence within one year of the request for the balance", we add in the notice of the decree. "[Furthermore,] the deadline for completion of the works is increased to 2 years".
Since last year, Ma Prime Rénov' has been accessible to all households, whatever their income. In total, four categories of income exist, depending on the location of your accommodation. The amount of your aid therefore depends on the nature of the work undertaken, the location of your main residence - the only accommodation eligible for Ma Prime Rénov' - and your level of income. The request must be made on the site maprimerenov.gouv.fr. The payment of Ma Prime Rénov' takes place within two to three weeks after the submission of your file, complete, quotes and invoices in support. Did you plan to undertake energy renovation work in your home in 2022? You may not be eligible for Ma Prime Rénov'.
To simulate your aid, go to the dedicated Simulaides website. Remember to bring your latest income tax notice, to be able to communicate your reference tax income. You will need to mention several pieces of information about your accommodation (address, municipality, year of construction, type of accommodation, area and main heating energy) and your household (number of adults, dependents, tax shares, status, RFR).
Ma Prime Rénov' is now available to all households, regardless of income. Four income categories will be created based on income level: Blue, Yellow, Purple, and Pink. Here are the scales:
Resource ceiling outside Île-de-France
Resource ceiling in Île-de-France
Not all energy-saving work is eligible for the system that replaces the CITE. In a detailed presentation document of Ma Prime Rénov', the Ministry of Ecological Transition had listed all the eligible actions, here they are:
"The amount [of the premium] will depend on the level of income and will be higher for low-income households than for wealthy households," Emmanuelle Wargon explained to Le Parisien last year. In addition to the nature of the work undertaken, "the aid will be modulated according to the place of residence with a specific scale for Ile-de-France", indicated the minister. Construction sites started "as of this fall" (October 1) will be eligible for the scheme. Ma Prime Rénov' is now open to all owners (lessors and occupants) and condominiums.
