The Guide of “Saving 2021” has been published – What is the difference between the new program

by

The Guide of “Save 2021” was published on the website exoikonomo2021.gov.gr, which includes all the information for the next energy upgrade program of buildings.

The new program aims to upgrade at least 50,000 homes, 38% more than in the previous cycle. “Save 2021” will contribute to achieving the goal set in the National Plan for Energy and Climate (ESEK), for the energy upgrade of 600,000 buildings by the end of the decade.

The new program differs significantly from the previous ones, as it is more socially sensitive, fairer and more efficient. Among the most important differences are the abolition of the temporal hierarchy of applications and the creation of a shortlist. For the first time, there will be a separate budget of 100 million euros for vulnerable households, while special care will be taken for single-parent families, large families and households with disabilities. The most important criterion is the estimated annual energy savings based on the proposed intervention costs. The submission of applications will be done electronically for a period of 50 days from the date of launch of the digital platform of the program, which is set for Monday, December 13, 2021 and will be simultaneous for the whole Territory.

The program will be funded by the Recovery Fund with 632 million euros and together with leverage will be mobilized total funds over 1 billion euros. The average estimated subsidy will amount to 62% of the total cost.
