On 25 June 2025 the European Commission adopted a new State aid framework accompanying the Clean Industrial Deal (CISAF). This helps Member States to easily support the development of clean energy, industrial decarbonisation and clean technology.
The CISAF builds on the experience with the Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework (‘TCTF') transition provisions which it replaces.
CISAF applies as of 25 June 2025, and remains in force until 31 December 2030.
CISAF contains provisions for the following types of aid measures:
- Measures accelerating the rollout of clean energy
- Measures providing support for electricity costs for energy-intensive users
- Measures facilitating industrial decarbonisation
- Measures ensuring sufficient manufacturing capacity in clean technologies
- Measures to de-risk private investments
For more information on the adoption of the CISAF see also the press release and fact sheet, as well as an explanatory overview of support measures.
