This is one of the biggest increases in the budget. The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, as well as that of Energy Transition, can be pleased with the 59.6 billion euros entered in the 2023 finance bill, i.e. an overall increase of 15% compared to to 2022. Knowing that 40.3 billion are allocated to the ministry of Christophe Béchu (ecological transition and territorial cohesion) and around 19 to that of Agnès Pannier-Runacher (energy).
The detail makes it possible to understand that this increase is in particular due to the integration in the attributions of the ministry of Mr. Béchu of the mission “relation with the local authorities”, a determining element of the ecological transition, which must materialize on the ground. .
The largest lines of expenditure are devoted to energy, mobility, communities or even biodiversity. In a context of energy price inflation, announced support for renewable energies and nuclear energy, with the objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, out of the 19 billion euros allocated to energy, three main items should be noted: the renovation of housing and aid for the purchase of clean vehicles, the acceleration of the decarbonization of the energy mix, and the maintenance of a tariff shield on gas and electricity in 2023 .
Some 12 billion euros will thus be devoted to extending the tariff shield in 2023 – the increase in gas and electricity tariffs must be limited to 15%. The overall cost of the tariff shield is estimated at 45 billion euros in 2023, but part of this sum will be mitigated by the revenue from renewable energies collected by the State – they are estimated at 38 billion.
“Green Fund” for local authorities
For the renovation of housing, the MaPrimeRénov ‘system, which was credited with 2 billion euros in 2022, sees this sum increase to 2.5 billion euros. An additional half billion is devoted to my MaPrimeRénov Sérénité, a device intended for low-income and very low-income households, paid by the National Housing Agency (ANAH), for savings of around 45%. For its part, the package of aid for the acquisition of clean vehicles is 1.3 billion euros, including the ecological bonus and the conversion bonus, and integrating the creation of a new ” social leasing”, which consists of renting a clean vehicle to the most modest households.
