My Energy Savings Journey — Booster: Reduce Your Energy Bill and Gain Green Value
ADEME’s 2026 page targets private micro-businesses, SMEs and mid-caps with tertiary business buildings, whether or not they are subject to the Éco Énergie Tertiaire obligation (France’s tertiary energy-saving decree). The aid covers engineering studies for a comprehensive renovation, with a consumption reduction target at least in line with the 2030 milestone for SMEs and 2040 for mid-caps. The exact terms are set out in the 2026 conditions and the mission specifications.
Are you planning a comprehensive energy renovation of offices, shops, tertiary warehouses or other business buildings? The “Booster” track of the PACTE Entreprises programme supports the engineering studies that prepare major works: project management or project owner assistance for an energy performance contract.

Who can apply
The scheme targets private micro-businesses, SMEs and mid-caps in industry and services with tertiary business buildings that want to significantly reduce their consumption. Being subject to the Éco Énergie Tertiaire obligation is not a requirement, according to the ADEME page. The planned works must be part of a coherent comprehensive energy renovation.
Eligibility conditions
The project must concern engineering studies preparing a comprehensive renovation and energy performance targets. SMEs must aim at least for the 2030 Éco Énergie Tertiaire target and mid-caps for the 2040 target, according to the page. Services must match ADEME’s specifications and be carried out by a provider meeting the programme’s requirements.
What the scheme covers
Project management and project owner assistance for an energy performance contract are targeted. These missions define the works, organise their delivery, structure the performance commitments and prepare the monitoring of savings. The works themselves should not be confused with the study aid: check separately what financing is available for the investments.
Amount and funding terms
No single rate applicable to all missions is given; the aid covers project management or project owner assistance studies linked to an energy performance contract. The amount depends on the specifications, eligible costs and the rules of the energy saving certificate (CEE) programme. Get a proposal from a compliant consultancy and have the funding validated before starting the mission.
How to apply
1. Identify the buildings and gather consumption data. 2. Define an energy pathway and the target applicable to your company’s size. 3. Consult ADEME’s specifications for project management or energy performance contract assistance. 4. Get a proposal from a competent provider. 5. Check eligible costs and apply on the platform before the mission starts.
Timeline
