The implementation of the 2nd call of the Energy Efficiency - Upgrading Homes Grant Scheme continues with the 2nd call, which will be financed with an additional budget of €35 million., the Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry said in a statement.
The Project, it is noted, is included in the 2021-202 Th.Al.E.I.A. Programme, co-financed by the EU's European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus, and aims at extensive energy upgrading of existing homes by natural persons, who are the beneficiaries of the Project.
The Project is included in the 2021-202 Th.Al.E.I.A. Programme, co-financed by the EU's European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus.
The detailed Implementation Guide of the 2nd Call, which will include all relevant provisions and requirements of the Plan, as well as the application start date, is planned to be published on the Ministry's website before the end of this year.
A prerequisite for applying under the 2nd Call, it is stated, will be the issue of an initial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for the existing dwelling, after the date of this notice.
Initial EPCs are issued by Qualified Experts, who will necessarily have to keep on file detailed photographic material and any additional evidence they deem necessary to demonstrate the original condition of each dwelling. The register of Qualified Experts is available at https:/epc.meci.gov.cy/QE.html.
Interested applicants may start the energy retrofit work on their dwelling immediately after the initial EIA of each dwelling has been issued, but it is not permitted to complete all the work before the date of submission of each application.
Note that implementation of investments prior to the publication of the detailed Implementation Guide and/or prior to the assessment and approval of any application will be the sole responsibility of the applicants. The Ministry is not bound in any way to approve applications that do not comply with the relevant criteria and eligibility requirements of the 2nd Call for Proposals.
Further information will be available after the publication of the detailed implementation guide for the Plan.
