The general objective of this measure, supported by EUR 57.3 million from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, is to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. As energy consumed in the buildings sector accounts for up to 40 % of the final energy consumption, the measure is expected to reduce the impact on the environment and contribute to climate change mitigation. Another aim is to reduce energy bills for inhabitants and increase the level of security of energy supply. Other specific objectives include reducing the level of energy poverty and supporting employment. The measure consists of a support programme for energy renovation in multi-apartment buildings. It is provided as a financial instrument (loan) with a capital discount of up to 49% of the amount of the loan. After the completion of the project, it is expected that buildings will achieve at least 30% energy savings. The Ministry of Economics has adopted the support programme, which is operated by the financial institution Altum. The application process has been launched and the program is expected to be operational until August 2026. More information about the project could be found on the webpage of the Ministry of Economics here and the recording of the online webinar published here.
