Question 13624 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Bruno Millienne draws the attention of the Minister of Energy Transition to the guarantees provided to rural areas on the sustainability of gas boilers following the speech by the President of the Republic on September 24, 2023 during which he declared: “We will not prohibit the installation of new gas boilers. We cannot leave our compatriots, in particular, in the most rural areas, without a solution ". Although the President of the Republic has refuted the hypothesis of a complete ban on gas boilers, many French people and businesses from rural areas are concerned about the disappearance of aid for gas boilers currently envisaged by the Government. This disappearance has already started with the deletion on January 1, 2024 of the energy saving certificate sheet “ BAR-TH-106” helping to install a high energy performance individual boiler. While aid is now massively directed towards heat pumps, the removal of support mechanisms for the most efficient gas boilers is, for many households who currently do not have credible alternatives, a barrier to entry into the renovation process of their building. Indeed, in order to provide a solution to each household, it is appropriate to provide equipment adapted to a large number of rural dwellings. The latter are mainly individual houses whose occupants are owners. They are also on average larger and older than in urban areas. Finally, the availability of energy in rural areas has its own characteristics. It should be remembered that a very high energy performance gas boiler (THPE) allows you to reduce energy consumption (and associated CO2 emissions) by 30% compared to a conventional gas boiler. This is not negligible, particularly in the budget of a rural household whose cost of access to energy is 20% higher (excluding inflation) than an urban household. Furthermore, these boilers, mainly manufactured in France, can be fueled by biopropane (-77% CO2 than fuel oil, no carbon emissions). particles). Therefore, for a rural household, the transition from a classic boiler to a THPE boiler supplied with biopropane is an effective and sustainable decarbonization lever. Also, he wants to know if the financial aid (eco-PTZ) and tax (VAT at 5.5%) relating to very high energy performance boilers (THPE) will be sustained in 2024 and if there are plans to set up an energy saving certificate sheet supporting the installation of very high energy performance boilers (THPE) powered by biopropane and intended for households unable to replace their gas boiler with another alternative, in order not to leave them without solutions, as indicated by the President of the Republic.
