THIRD-PARTY FINANCING COMPANIES
Expand the offer for efficient energy works
Third-party financing consists in offering project design and technical assistance services during the implementation of renovation works, which can be complemented by a financing offer. It is offered by operators and controlled by local authorities, with the objective of leveraging financing to guide the demand and supply of renovation works towards energy efficiency.
Third-party financing is defined in Articles L.381-1 et seq. of the Construction and Housing Code.
To develop the supply of efficient energy works, the Hauts-de-France , Ile-de-France , Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Grand-Est regions as well as Bordeaux Métropole have developed and implemented the concept of third-party financing companies. The third-party financing companies of the Occitanie and Center-Val de Loire regions are also in the process of being set up.
