29 September, 2022The main objective of the Next Generation fund is for residential buildings to reduce the consumption of non-renewable primary energy and also to reduce demand according to the climate zone.
The actions to be subsidised are the energy renovation of residential buildings and the construction of social rental housing in energy-efficient buildings.
They constitute extraordinary funds to combat the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic that will have to be made available before June 2026, the deadline for justification in the EU.
Through Royal Decree-Law 19/2021 of 5 October on urgent measures, the Government has prepared a Recovery, Transformation and Resilience plan to improve the energy efficiency of Spanish housing, promoting building renovation activity.
There are currently two types of aid, below you will be able to obtain all the necessary information:
- Aid by Autonomous Communities: You have until 31 Dic 2022 at the latest to apply for this aid.
