Who can apply
The scheme is listed with the Métropole Européenne de Lille (MEL). Eligibility depends on the location, the nature of the activity and the criteria of the rules in force. The aid description notably indicates: supporting the environmental transition of your business. Have the criteria on size, age, status and any excluded sectors confirmed before applying.
Eligibility conditions
The environmental transition aid aims to support businesses in investment that improves their environmental performance. The application must quantify the starting situation and the expected gains: energy, emissions, materials, waste or water. Check the territorial criteria, the sectors accepted, the required level of maturity and the applicable aid regime.
What the scheme covers
For this project, document the following operations precisely: investment to reduce energy consumption, decarbonisation, circular economy, waste reduction or environmental improvement, depending on the applicable strand. For each item, attach a separate quote or a breakdown of costs, the necessary technical characteristics and an explanation of the link with the aim of the aid. Expenditure already committed, recurring subscriptions or items not explicitly provided for should be validated before being included.
Amount and funding terms
The listed cap is €200,000. It should be compared with the precise strand of the aid, the size of the business, the applicable rate and the eligible expenditure. A reference cap is neither a flat-rate amount nor a promise of award. The amount depends on the costs accepted, the funding rate and the funder’s decision. Where the aid is paid as an energy savings certificate (CEE) bonus, the amount may notably depend on the technical characteristics, the situation of the site and the offer of the obligated or delegated funder. Check the calculation and the payment conditions before including any income in the budget.
