    France

    Certificats d'économies d'énergie (CEE)

    France's energy-saving-certificate scheme obliges energy suppliers to fund efficiency works in homes, which they do by paying "primes" to households. Around 60 standardised works qualify - insulation, heat pumps, thermostats, ventilation - with amounts set by each supplier, so comparing offers matters. The scheme runs in multi-year obligation periods set by decree; check the official page for the current period dates.

    Available Incentive - the premium is set freely by each energy supplier and varies by type of works, expected energy savings, household income and region. Higher "bonified" premiums exist for low-income households on specific works (e.g. Coup de pouce chauffage). Compare supplier offers; the official page recommends putting suppliers in competition.
