The Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry informs the public that the implementation of the "Save - Upgrade Homes" Grant Scheme continues with the 2nd call for proposals, which will be funded with an additional budget of €35 million.
The Scheme is included in the "TH.AL.E.I.A." Programme 2021-202, co-financed by the EU's European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus and aims at extensive energy efficiency upgrading of existing homes by natural persons, who are the beneficiaries of the Scheme.
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 will be the issuance of an initial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of the existing dwelling after the date of this announcement. Initial EPCs are issued by Qualified Experts, who will be required to keep on file detailed photographic evidence 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 commence the energy upgrade work on their dwelling immediately after the initial PEP of each dwelling has been issued, but not all work may be completed 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 following the publication of the detailed implementation guide for the Scheme.
