Draft Clean Industrial State Aid Framework (CISAF)

On 26 February 2025, the Commission published the Communication on the Clean Industrial Deal: A joint roadmap for competitiveness and decarbonization, announcing the adoption of a new State aid Framework in the second quarter of 2025.  

The CISAF will accompany the Clean Industrial Deal by setting out how Member States can design State aid measures to support its objectives, building on the experience with the Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework (‘TCTF') transition provisions. 

Once adopted, the CISAF will replace the TCTF.  It is intended that the CISAF will be in force until 31 December 2030

The draft CISAF contains provisions for the following types of aid measures: 

  • Measures accelerating the rollout of renewable energy
  • Measures facilitating industrial decarbonisation
  • Measures ensuring sufficient manufacturing capacity in clean technologies
  • Measures to de-risk private investments
