# The government suspends then scales back funding for the ecological transition

> On November 3, 2026, the ministry suspended funding applications for renewable heat networks, citing the large number of projects submitted in 2026 and budget constraints linked to the reduction in Ademe's allocation. Two days later, ecological transition funding was presented as increasingly externalized, relying more on off-budget envelopes and loans, such as the Livret A or heat funds. On November 11, the executive scaled back ecological transition funding for the territories and called into question the heat fund and the Actee program, used by local authorities for decarbonization and climate adaptation.
