New renovation grant round to emphasize energy savings over submission speed

Share

Until now, renovation grants for apartment associations in Estonia were awarded based on how quickly applications were submitted.Starting this summer, however, an €80 million round will prioritize support for buildings where renovations would result in the largest reductions in energy consumption.

According to a regulation signed by Minister of Infrastructure Kuldar Leis (Reform) this week, apartment associations will have 30 days from the opening of an application round to submit their support applications to the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency (EIS).

Once the deadline for the round has passed, buildings will be ranked based on where energy consumption could be reduced the most — meaning where support is most needed.

The agency will launch the next application round for renovation support this summer.
