Government announcements to simplify and expand support for energy-intensive companies come into effect following the publication of a new decree. To benefit from this aid to compensate for the rise in gas and electricity prices, companies must now:
justify a large energy consumption, i.e. have gas and/or electricity purchases reaching at least 3% of their 2021 turnover;
and experience a doubling of the price of gas and/or electricity over the eligible period compared to an average price over the year 2021.
Depending on the situation of the company, the amount of aid is equal to:
30% of eligible costs, with a ceiling of €2 million for companies experiencing a decrease in gross operating surplus compared to 2021 or having a negative gross operating surplus;
50 % of the eligible costs with a ceiling of EUR 25 million, for undertakings whose gross operating surplus is negative and whose increase in eligible costs amounts to at least 50 % of the operating loss. The aid is limited to 80% of the amount of the losses;
70% of the eligible costs with a ceiling of EUR 50 million, for companies that comply with the aid criteria capped at EUR 25 million and that carry out their main activity in one or more of the sectors and subsectors listed in Annex 1 to the Decree. The aid is limited to 80 % of the amount of the losses.
The ceilings are assessed at group level, over the period from 1 March 2022 to 31 December 2022, with four eligible periods. Applications are filed in a dematerialized way on the impots.gouv.fr site:
until 31 December 2022 for the eligible periods March, April, May 2022 and June, July, August 2022;
between 15 November and 31 January 2023, for the eligible period September/October 2022;
between 16 January and 24 February 2023 for the eligible period November/December 2022.
The application is accompanied in particular by a certificate from a chartered accountant.
