Commission publishes study on how the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework addresses clean investment gaps

The Commission has published a staff working document analysing how the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) helps accelerate investments needed to meet the Clean Deal objectives. The CISAF, which was adopted on 25 June 2025, enables Member States to boost clean energy deployment, industrial decarbonisation, and clean technology manufacturing, while allowing temporary support for electricity consumption in energy-intensive industries to enhance competitiveness and support the transition from fossil fuels.

The document highlights how the CISAF addresses key investment gaps identified through consultations with stakeholders and Member States. It details how the framework enables targeted public support while maintaining fair competition in the Single Market through clear safeguards and simplified administrative procedures for both national authorities and businesses. It explains the main policy choices taken and provides the main evidence and experience on the Commission took into account when adopting the CISAF.
