The initiative meant to turn the island’s home more environmentally friendly has been successful so far and the government wants to continue the practice
After a successful 2020 run, the Cypriot government is eager to extend its national home insulation and photovoltaics support scheme for yet another year. Authorities are pleased with the initiative’s results and are observing more and more interest coming from citizens which makes it all the more important for the practice to continue and to allow Cypriots to take part in making the country more environmentally friendly and climate-conscious.
The Cypriot government’s home insulation and photovoltaics support scheme was available throughout the entirety of 2020. It is currently being funded through the Renewable Energy Resource Fund (RES) and the Energy Saving Fund (EXE). The grants allocated through the project are given for thermal insulation works on ceilings or roofs and for the creation of photovoltaics systems in homes – or even a combination of both.
For 2020, the programme’s budget was 7.5 million euros, which is expected to cover a total of 4,500 different applications. The 2021 budget, however, will be determined at a later date. Officials expect that some changes will have to be made to both the plan’s provisions as well as the way that application forms are submitted.
Other than that, the government expects for the programme to be able to be smoothly rolled over into 2021 based on its current iteration and popularity. The current programme period ends when on the deadline for submitting applications for 2020 – on 20 December. After that, authorities aim for the new scheme to be applicable retroactively allowing it to finance all requests submitted both in 2020 and in 2021.
