The aid for a pellet stove will increase from EUR 1 000 to EUR 750 for households with intermediate incomes.
Low-income households will see their aid reduced by between EUR 1 800 and EUR 1 250.
Why this reduction? The government’s goal is to encourage households to move towards even more efficient and cleaner solutions.
What to do? If you are planning to install a new device, it is better to act quickly to benefit from the current aid before they are reduced.
New standards: restrictions on certain equipment
Another major change for wood-fired fuelling users is that energy performance criteria will be strengthened.
By 2025, all new equipment will have to be energy efficient at at least 75%.
Open, highly polluting households will be phased out in some urban areas as of 1 January 2025.
In the major cities, this ban will be generalised by 30 June 2025.
Why these restrictions? Old wood-fired fuelling systems are responsible for a significant share of fine particle emissions, contributing to air pollution and public health problems.
What to do? Check whether your installation complies with the new standards and anticipate a possible replacement to avoid additional costs or sanctions.
Replacement of polluting equipment: an ambitious government target
The Ecological Transition Ministry has set a clear target: to replace 600,000 obsolete wood fire systems by the end of 2025.
