Coénove in the news

Jean-Charles Colas-Roy was renewed as president of Coénove, which advocates for pragmatic energy efficiency and green gas use in building sector decarbonization amid key 2026 French energy policy events.

EDF's nuclear revenue forecast drops for 2027, a new dams bill is proposed, and Coénove's leader is renewed.

Jean-Charles Colas-Roy continues as president of Coénove, which promotes energy-efficient building transitions emphasizing sobriety and green gases amid major French energy policy debates.

Jean-Charles Colas-Roy was reappointed president of Coénove in January 2026 amid key energy and political challenges for the building sector.

Coénove criticizes the French government's plan to remove tax and subsidy benefits for hybrid heat pumps, arguing it harms energy transition, consumers, and industry.

Coénove opposes government plans to cut financial incentives for hybrid heat pumps, citing their benefits for energy transition, grid stability, and industrial interests.

Public aid for hybrid heat pumps is ending soon, and Coénove is defending these systems amid subsidy cuts.

An Artelys study for Coénove shows that a balanced heating mix with green gas and hybrid solutions is more resilient, cost-effective, and better for decarbonizing France's residential heating by 2030.

Artelys' study for Coénove supports a balanced energy mix of decarbonized electrification and green gases for buildings, offering cost, resilience, and emission benefits.

Coénove advocates for a diverse energy mix combining low-carbon electricity and locally produced green gases to enhance France's energy security and support rural economies.

A study by Coénove highlights hybrid heat pumps combined with green gases and renovations as a cost-effective, flexible path to decarbonize residential heating while reducing peak electricity demand.

Coénove criticizes a proposed VAT increase on hybrid heat pumps, arguing it contradicts decarbonization goals and harms the French heating industry and local jobs.

Coénove criticizes the planned removal of reduced VAT for hybrid heat pumps, arguing it contradicts European rules and harms energy efficiency goals.

Coénove strongly opposes the rushed reform lowering electricity's primary energy coefficient in the French DPE system.

Coénove strongly opposes the French government's plan to lower the electricity primary energy coefficient, warning it misrepresents energy use, harms vulnerable households, and risks energy supply stability.

Coénove warns the French Prime Minister that lowering the primary energy coefficient for electricity in energy performance diagnostics would negatively impact building energy renovation efforts.

The French government’s plan to lower the electricity primary energy coefficient risks misleading energy ratings and destabilizing the grid, prompting Coénove to call for real renovations instead of regulatory tweaks.

Coénove cautions that lowering the energy conversion coefficient in energy performance diagnostics could mislead renovation efforts, promote inefficient electrification, and threaten energy security.

Coénove appointed a new board member from a building trade union during its June 2025 general assembly focused on energy efficiency.

The 'Mention gaz vert' initiative by Coénove promotes biomethane use in buildings, gaining support from installers, municipalities, and rural communities to advance renewable gas and decarbonization.
