Lyon Éco-Énergie: reducing your business’s energy bills
Lyon Éco-Énergie is a free energy support service for micro-businesses and SMEs in the Métropole de Lyon: a discussion with an adviser, analysis of bills, a site visit, a personalised report and a follow-up after one year. For certain eco-investment projects, the Métropole also presents additional aid of up to 30% of the project cost, capped at €10,000. Eligibility for this separate aid and the list of investments should be checked before building the budget.
Heating, ventilation, lighting or production bills weigh on your business’s margin. Lyon Éco-Énergie offers micro-businesses and SMEs in the Métropole de Lyon free support to analyse the site’s consumption and draw up a concrete action plan. The diagnosis can help prioritise the most useful works and estimate possible savings. This support, which is not a cash grant, should be distinguished from the Lyon Éco-Énergie + scheme, which can support certain investments.

Who can apply
Micro-businesses and SMEs with an establishment in the Métropole de Lyon wishing to improve their energy performance. The service is open to businesses in various sectors, subject to the programme’s operational criteria. The conditions of the Lyon Éco-Énergie + investment aid may be more specific than those of the free diagnosis.
Eligibility conditions
The process starts with a discussion with an adviser, analysis of the bills and a site visit. The action plan prioritises possible savings. To apply for investment aid, have the project’s eligibility, the equipment concerned and the application conditions checked before ordering or starting works. The free diagnosis does not guarantee a grant.
What the scheme covers
Support: analysis of energy bills, visit of the installations, consumption diagnosis, personalised report, action plan and follow-up after one year. Investment that may be supported through Lyon Éco-Énergie +: energy-saving and renewable energy projects, under the rules of the financial scheme. The precise works and any thresholds should be confirmed with the adviser before committing.
Amount and funding terms
Lyon Éco-Énergie support: free, with no direct cash grant announced for the diagnosis itself. For investment, the Métropole’s page presents the Lyon Éco-Énergie + scheme, which may fund up to 30% of the project, up to €10,000. This cap should not be applied automatically to every project: check the rules, eligible expenditure and whether applications are open with the Métropole or the CCI/CMA adviser.
How to apply
1. Contact the Lyon Éco-Énergie adviser through the CCI Lyon Métropole or the CMA Lyon Rhône. 2. Prepare your energy bills and information on the installations. 3. Have the discussion and visit, then obtain the action plan. 4. If investment is recommended, ask the adviser whether Lyon Éco-Énergie + is open and whether the works are eligible. 5. Submit any aid application before starting the investment.
Timeline
The diagnosis is presented as a support service available on request. Whether the investment aid is open and its updated rules should be checked with the Métropole before committing expenditure.
