The 6th period, which covers the period 2026-2030, begins, a period marked by an increase in the volume of Energy Saving Certificates (CEE) premiums.
Context reminder
Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) are available to businesses and local authorities for energy-saving projects. Based on standardized energy performance measures, they use the cumulative discounted kWh (kWh cumac) as the unit of measurement. Projects, assessed and financed in partnership with delegated authorities such as Economie d'Energie, can cover a range of energy improvements.
The 5th period of the Energy Savings Certificates (2022-2025) ended at the end of the year. Good news for the 6th period: the overall amount has been increased by nearly 30%.
- 1050 TWhc/year, or 5250 TWhc over the period 2026-2030
- vs. 775 TWhc/year, i.e., 3100 TWhc over the period 2022-2025
Afin de lutter contre les fraudes et en accord avec la récente loi Cazenave, des critères plus stricts seront mis en place :
- Minimum Return on Investment (ROI) for the beneficiary
- Reste à charge minimal pour le bénéficiaire
Objectif : des contrôles plus fiables, plus rapides, plus ciblés.

Energy Efficiency Certificates (EEC) for commercial buildings
Numerous changes were made to the CEE scheme at the end of 2025, with the aim of better tracking fraud and refocusing aid on the most effective systems.

The 75th decree, published on September 9, 2025, removes the BAT-TH-113 form, which is replaced by 2 new forms, which came into effect on January 1, 2026:
- BAT-TH-163 pompe à chaleur de type air-eau
- BAT-TH-164 pompe à chaleur de type eau-eau ou eau glycolée-eau
Ces 2 fiches CEE bénéficient d’une bonification pour le remplacement d’une chaudière au charbon, au fioul ou au gaz :
- Coefficient de bonification de 3 pour la fiche BAT-TH-163
- Coefficient de bonification de 4 pour la fiche BAT-TH-164
This same decree creates a new form for geothermal energy: BAT-TH-162 geothermal system. This form benefits from a bonus coefficient of 5 for replacing a coal, oil, or gas boiler, also effective since January 1, 2026.
Fiches CEE modifiées ou supprimées
- Lighting - Modified BAT-EQ 127 specification - exclusion of halogen replacement
- Heating-Fact sheet BAT-TH-140 (air-water and water-water absorption heat pump ) and 141 (air-water gas engine heat pump) have been removed since the 73rd decree of August 22, 2025. This removal brings the CEE fact sheets into line with the provisions of the recent DDADUE law of April 30, 2025.
- Heating – Modified BAT-TH-142 Fact Sheet – Air Destratification System (in Metropolitan France). Excluded are logistics warehouses, storage facilities, warehouses, and storage areas due to the lack of a proven heating requirement. These controls are implemented and applicable to projects initiated on or after August 1, 2025.

SOFIAC third-party financing: a major lever to activate
Le modèle porté par SOFIAC repose sur un tiers-financement dans le cadre de Contrats de Performance Énergétique (CPE).
Thanks to this mechanism, project owners no longer have to bear any initial CAPEX: SOFIAC takes care of 100% of project costs, including energy studies/audits, works and monitoring devices , with reimbursement based solely on actual energy savings measured by an independent third party over time (10 to 15 years).
Soutenue par le programme européen ELENA de la Banque Européenne d’Investissement, SOFIAC dispose d’une capacité de financement de 210 millions d’euros pour les projets et de 3 millions d’euros de subvention destinés à réduire les coûts d’étude et de conception pour les bénéficiaires publics et privés.
Cette approche innovante permet de transformer les dépenses énergétiques en levier d’investissement durable, tout en sécurisant la rentabilité environnementale et économique des projets.
From audit to action: the challenge of guaranteeing post-construction savings
For its part, Sobre Energie ensures the reliability of the initial diagnosis and the relevance of energy performance actions through the performance of energy audits.
In the post-construction phase, the digital audits are integrated into our DATAMARC NEO platform to guarantee the measurement and verification (M&V) of actual savings, in accordance with international standards (IPMVP). The goal: to objectively validate the contractual results and enable the activation of performance-related financing.
By combining their expertise, SOFIAC and Sobre Energie offer managers of tertiary assets — local authorities, tertiary/industrial companies and real estate players — an integrated solution, without initial investment, with a guarantee of results.
Cette approche “clé en main” permet :
- De passer à l’action rapidement sans contrainte budgétaire,
- De structurer des projets conformes aux exigences du Décret Tertiaire et de la CSRD,
- Et de sécuriser la performance énergétique sur toute la durée du contrat.
