The investment consists of a support scheme for private households to promote energy renovation and solutions, replace inefficient equipment and increase installed capacity to promote energy and resource efficiency (EUR 135 million). It also aims to enhance self-consumption of renewable energy (EUR 130 million) and to tackle energy poverty. The scheme works by supporting the cost of works carried out, usually at a rate of 50-70%. For low-income households in energy poverty, a voucher scheme is foreseen which avoids households having to make the payment first and waiting for reimbursement (EUR 30 million).
At the end of 2022, 70% of Recovery and Resilience Facility funds for energy efficiency in buildings, including service and government buildings, were already executed or in execution. The investment, which is fully financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility (EUR 300 million), shall be completed by end of2025.
