An extra 鈧�2 billion will be allocated for renovation grants for homes in France in 2022, Prime Minister Jean Castex said yesterday (September 16).

The prime minister described the success of the MaPrimeR茅nov scheme in 2021 as 鈥渃ompletely unexpected鈥�, as 800,000 households are set to benefit from the renovation grants by the end of this year.

The scheme, which helps homeowners improve energy-saving features such as insulation, ventilation and heating will now be extended into 2022.

Mr Castex said there were 11.5 million private homes in France that were 鈥渟till very badly insulated鈥� and 4.4 million that were 鈥榯hermal sieves鈥� meaning they are extremely poorly insulated.
