€1.1 Billion for Clean Tech: France's New Manufacturing Boost

20 March 2026

The European Commission has approved a €1.1 billion French scheme to accelerate clean technology manufacturing — a key step under the Clean Industrial Deal.


What it supports: Manufacturing capacity for net-zero technologies, including: • Solar • Wind (onshore & offshore) • Heat pumps • Batteries • Main components & critical raw materials



How it works: • Instrument: Tax credit • Eligibility: Open to entire France • Deadline: Aid can be granted until 31 December 2028



Why it matters: This is the 8th cleantech manufacturing scheme approved since the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) was adopted on 25 June 2025. Combined, these schemes have now unlocked over €10 billion in support for clean tech investments across Europe. The bigger picture: This French scheme is a clear signal: Europe is serious about building its own clean tech future. With €10 billion already mobilized across 8 Member States, the EU is creating the conditions for a competitive, net-zero industrial base.
