The measure was assessed and cleared under the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CIDSAF), adopted in 2025. Under the scheme, France will provide support for investments expanding domestic manufacturing capacity for net zero technologies.
Eligible technologies include solar panels, offshore and onshore wind, heat pumps, and batteries. The measure also covers key components of these systems as well as associated critical raw materials.
Aid will be granted in the form of tax credits and will be available throughout the entire French territory. The scheme will last until the end of 2026.
