The government suspends the “fonds chaleur”: local authorities denounce a “cataclysm”

Dans la source utilisée, nous n’avons pas pu vérifier le détail des raisons de la baisse, la durée de la suspension, ni le sort des dossiers déjà acceptés.

Normally ne and pas wrap the verb. Before a vowel, ne becomes n’. Check which part of the sentence the negation covers. Ne … plus means “no longer”.

Selon franceinfo (4 novembre en fin d’après-midi), le gouvernement a annoncé le mardi 3 novembre la suspension du fonds chaleur, en raison d’une forte coupe budgétaire.

Selon means “according to”. Put a person or organisation after it as the source. It separates facts the writer checked directly from what another body or report said. Citing a source does not turn a forecast into an accomplished fact.

Le gouvernement prévoit de ramener ce fonds à 500 millions d’euros en 2027, soit 300 millions de moins qu’en 2026.

Prévoir means “to plan, to expect”. Être prévu means “to be scheduled” and être envisagé means “to be under consideration”. In the news, read them separately from expressions that describe events that have already happened. They do not say that the event has already taken place.

It reports past events, as in “announced” or “explained”. A / ont is the auxiliary avoir and the next word is the past participle. The passé composé alone does not tell you the date of the event.

Le fonds de l’État qui finance les réseaux de chaleur renouvelable est suspendu pour toute nouvelle demande, et serait ramené à 500 millions d’euros en 2027.

Est is third-person singular and sont third-person plural of être. They express “is / are” — a state or description. If a past participle follows, it is a different structure such as the passive, so check the words that follow.

C’est un fonds de l’État qui finance des réseaux de chaleur et de froid renouvelables et la production de chaleur décarbonée, par exemple la géothermie ou les panneaux solaires thermiques.

Qui continues a description of the person or thing just mentioned (“the one that does…”). Because qui is itself the subject of the next verb, do not repeat the subject. The verb agrees with the noun qui refers to.

franceinfo（4日夕方）によると、政府は11月3日（火）に「fonds chaleur」の停止を発表しました。

As in “LCPによると”, it shows where the information comes from. What that source reported follows. It is used differently from “私にとって”, which gives one’s own opinion.

再生可能な暖房・冷房のための国の基金が、新規の申請の受付を直ちに止めました。

ため is used for both reason and purpose. “成立ではないため” is a reason and “運転手を守るため” a purpose. Decide from the whole sentence whether what precedes is a cause or a goal.

自治体のネットワーク「アモルス（Amorce）」は、これを「化石燃料への依存を減らすフランスの戦略にとっての大惨事」と呼びました。

In “発表しました”, ました makes a verb polite past. The negative is “ませんでした”. Read the actual date together with the date and time in the text.

分かっていることを整理します。

“〜すること” treats an action or content like a noun. The particle after it (が・を・は…) shows its role in the sentence. “ことができる” is a fixed combination meaning “can”.

この記事の範囲では、削減される理由の詳しい説明、停止がいつまで続くか、すでに承認された案件の扱いは確認できませんでした。

できる is the basic verb for ability. The potential form of 受ける is 受けられる. The same られる can also be passive or honorific, so decide from the meaning of the sentence.

現在調査中の約1,200件の計画が止まるおそれがある、と同団体は懸念しています。

The て-form links actions in a series, in order or as a reason. In “確認して、出発する” the relation is judged from the content. In “〜ている” it can show an action in progress or a continuing state.
