With the rise in energy prices, the next few months are likely to be particularly complicated for many households.
"As of this winter, millions of French people will be faced with new expenses that most of them will not be able to assume", assures the association Familles Rurales which acts in favor of families throughout the territory, in rural and peri-urban areas
For this reason, the association asked Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne this Friday for “an emergency plan” and the government to “organize energy meetings”.
In particular, it proposes to impose on renovation professionals an obligation of result and to reduce VAT to 5.5% for all heating energy.
It defends zero-cost renovation for owners of main residences with modest resources and a promotional contribution for others.
Government measures in the dock
Rural family notes several government regulatory provisions which “will potentially impact 2/3 of French households, most of which will not have the means to assume them”.
Among them: the end of new oil-fired boilers on July 1, then measures on wood heating, as well as the ban on the rental of the worst thermal sieves next year.
"Rural areas, due to an older housing stock, less well insulated and using more polluting heating energy and doomed to disappear, are particularly affected and concerned by the energy transition underway", notes the association which worried about the cost for households of installing a new heating system (up to more than 25,000 euros) or renovating an energy strainer (from 15,000 to 60,000 euros).
She also judges the aid difficult to read and incomplete, leaving a balance to be paid “often dissuasive”.
