The French government has announced updates to several fuel and energy subsidies designed to help consumers cope with rising fuel prices. One key change involves the "grands rouleurs" aid, which supports people who travel long distances for work. This program has been extended through December 2026 and now covers nearly 5.5 million individuals. To qualify, individuals must travel at least 15 kilometers or 8,000 kilometers annually using a personal vehicle. The aid has also increased, with recipients now receiving 40 cents per liter of fuel, and an additional 100 euros for the months of October through December. Previous recipients will automatically receive the aid, while others can apply online. Income limits have been raised, allowing single individuals earning up to 2,050 euros per month to qualify. Adjustments for overseas territories are currently being developed. Another key update is the employer fuel subsidy, which allows companies to help cover fuel costs for employees’ vehicles, including electric, hybrid, or hydrogen vehicles. The subsidy is now exempt from social contributions and income tax up to 1,000 euros per employee annually, up from 600 euros previously. Employers are not required to offer this benefit unless specified in a collective agreement, and employees do not need to submit expense justifications or go through a specific application process—only checking with their employer is needed. The energy check, which supports low-income households, remains unchanged in terms of eligibility and the amounts provided, which range from 48 to 277 euros. Payments are typically made in April, but for the new campaign, they will be advanced to January 2027. Households that are eligible but not currently receiving the check can apply online or by mail until December 31, 2026. Sector-specific subsidies have also been extended to support various industries. Fishermen will receive aid based on the European Commission’s maximum rate, covering 70% of the increased costs compared to pre-crisis levels. Applications are submitted through the ASP service, and advance payments are under consideration. Starting October 1, fishing companies may also access a zero-interest loan of up to 50,000 euros. Farmers will continue to receive the GNR aid at 15 cents per liter of diesel used for non-road activities, with applications submitted through Dématic and accompanied by invoices, a declaration of honor, and bank details. Payments will be faster, with advance payments possible. Construction and public works small and medium-sized enterprises (PMEs) will receive the GNR aid at 20 cents per liter of fuel for September and October, with applications submitted online through the tax office’s professional portal.
