Want to upgrade your home?
New “Save 2025” programme
The new“EXIKONOMO” programme has been launched with many innovations and with great interest from property owners and tenants, which is an excellent opportunity for the energy upgrade of homes.
It is clarified that the programme applies to buildings used as a main residence (detached houses and individual apartments).
Regarding the beneficiaries who will be included in the “ExoEconomy 2025“, covering their own participation with a loan, it is noted that the interest rate of the loan agreement is fixed and subsidized at 100%.
SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION
– Applications are due from 8 January to 20 March 2025.
ELIGIBLE BUDGET
– The maximum eligible budget is 35.000€
BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROGRAMME
– Eligible to participate in the Programme are:
- Natural persons who have a right in rem (full ownership / usufruct / fractional ownership) in an eligible dwelling
- Tenants who lease an eligible dwelling, as evidenced by the existence of a lease with at least seven (7) years remaining on the lease at the time of application to the program.
- In case there are several beneficiaries of rights in rem (co-owners) in an eligible residence: if the main use of the residence under application is by one of the co-owners, only the co-owner who owns the residence is eligible to participate in the Programme.
- If the main use of the residence under application is for another person who is not a co-owner (rental/free concession), any of the co-owners with a right of full ownership/ usufruct in rem (not freehold) is entitled to participate in the Programme.
energy objective of the programme
– The minimum energy target to be achieved is a mandatory upgrade of at least three (3) energy classification categories, compared to the classification in the A’ PEA, in order to ensure primary energy savings of more than 30%.
– The maximum eligible budget of interventions with 24% VAT per Beneficiary’s application (for a detached house/individual apartment) cannot exceed:
1) the product of 1,20 € multiplied by the total estimated annual primary energy savings (kWh) as calculated from the A’ Energy Performance Certificate,
2) 35.000 € for a detached house/individual apartment.
Therefore, the eligible budget in an application will be the lower of the above two limits.
What the Energy Efficiency 2025 programme subsidises
Which homes are considered eligible
– In order to be considered eligible, a dwelling must meet the following general conditions:
– It is legally existing.
– It has not been declared demolishable
– It is used as a main residence.
– It is classified under the First Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in a category lower or equal to C.
What is the rate of grant?
For individual income up to 5000,00€ or family income up to 10000,00€ grant rate 95%
For individual income over 5000,00€ or family income over 10000,00€.
How can I participate in the programme
Any individual wishing to participate in the Programme must first check whether their home can be considered “eligible”.
It is then addressed to an energy inspector for the issuance of the first Energy Performance Certificate and for the completion of the Intervention Proposal Form (registered electronically).
The applicant, after gathering the required supporting documents, submits electronically, in cooperation with the Energy Inspector who issued the PEP, the application in the information system of the official web portal of the Programme during the application period.
which energy class my property is in
The energy category will be derived from the energy inspection and will be recorded in the Energy Performance Certificate issued by the Energy Inspector. Generally speaking, however, houses with inadequate thermal insulation are very energy-intensive and, unless they have been radically renovated, will most likely be in a category less than or at most equal to C.
