To symbolize the relaunch of MaPrimeRénov’, the Minister of Towns and Housing Vincent Jeanbrun made the trip to a France Rénov’ space in Yvelines on Friday February 6. Because since yesterday, it’s official: the MaPrimeRénov’ counter, state aid which helps new owners carry out energy renovations in their homes, will reopen!
As a reminder, it has been suspended since June 2025 concerning large-scale renovations, for reasons of saturation and suspicion of fraud. It was then partially reopened at the end of September, but within a very restrictive framework. It aimed above all to avoid a total breakdown of the system while containing the budgetary drift observed in the first half of the year. Finally, due to the lack of a definitively adopted finance law, it was once again suspended from January 1, 2026.
Although the budget has, in the meantime, been voted on, “the submission of new MaPrimeRenov’ files is not currently possible”, because the official aid portal launched in 2020. However, the reopening of the portal was promised “in the coming days” according to Vincent Jeanbrun. And the problem is that with the restriction and then suspension of this aid in recent months, 83,000 files submitted in 2025 are already awaiting treatment according to BFM. Here are answers to the questions you may be asking yourself.
When will the MaPrimeRénov’ portal reopen?
The government does not give a precise date, but promises a reopening “in the coming days”, now conditional only on the final promulgation of the 2026 finance law. According to the Minister of Housing, all the budgetary conditions are met and the services are ready to relaunch the platform as soon as the legal framework is effective. Clearly, the reopening is imminent, but still depends on the official publication of the texts, without which no new file can be registered.
Who will be able to benefit from state aid during this reopening?
Unlike the very supervised reopening of autumn 2025, the government this time promises a system accessible to all householdswithout restriction to very modest households only. Owner-occupants, landlords and co-owners should therefore once again be able to submit a file. On the other hand, since the end of last year, the executive has assumed reinforced targeting on the most energy-intensive housing, in particular thermal sieves classified E, F and G, considered priorities with regard to climate objectives.
What aid and work will be affected?
The reopening should concern both work “by gesture” (insulation, change of heating, ventilation, etc.) and large-scale renovations, which had crystallized budgetary tensions in 2025. However, the public authorities are already warning: the conditions will be stricter than before the suspension, with controlled aid ceilings, increased requirements in terms of energy performance and reinforced controls to limit fraud. The stated objective is to finance fewer but better targeted cases.
What will become of the 83,000 files already waiting?
The files submitted in 2025 are not canceled, but still under investigation, in particular by the National Housing Agency (Anah). Their processing, however, was significantly delayed, a direct consequence of successive suspensions and the congestion of services. The government assures that their examination will resume gradually with the reopening of the window, but without a precise timetable for the payment of aid. An uncertainty which continues to weigh on many households… and on building professionals.
