New green energy savings program
Nová zelená úsporám
Background information
The New green savings program supports the reduction of the energy demand of residential buildings in the form of insulation, the construction of passive new buildings, greener methods of heating, renewable energy sources and adaptation and mitigation measures in response to climate change.
The main objective of the program is to improve the quality of the environment by reducing the production of emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. At the same time, the program contributes to saving energy and increasing the quality of housing.
The program is announced by the Ministry of the Environment (MŽP) in accordance with Ministry of Environment Directive No. 3/2021 on the provision of Modernization Fund resources from the State Environmental Fund of the Czech Republic. The program is administered by the State Environmental Fund of the Czech Republic and financed by the HOUSEnerg program of the Modernization Fund.
Content of measure
The New Green program supports the following series of investments:
-
Insulation of family and apartment buildings (insulation of facades, roofs, ceilings, floors, replacement of windows and doors);
-
Construction of family and apartment buildings in the so-called passive standard (passive houses);
-
Purchase of family houses and apartments with very low energy consumption;
-
Installation of solar thermal and photovoltaic systems;
-
Exchange of non-ecological heat sources for heat pumps or biomass sources;
-
Installation of tanks for collecting rainwater, use of waste water;
-
Green roofs, outdoor shading technology;
-
Utilization of heat from waste water, water heating;
-
Controlled ventilation systems with heat recovery (ZZT);
-
Procurement and installation of charging stations for passenger vehicles;
-
Planting trees on publicly accessible land near apartment buildings.
In the years 2014-2021, the program was financed from the proceeds of the sale of emission allowances. From 2021, the EU RRF – Recovery and Resilience Facility through the National Recovery Plan (CZK 19 billion) and subsequently from the Modernization Fund established (HOUSEnerg program, CZK 55 billion) will also be a source of funds.
Depending on the measures taken, the amount of support can reach up to 50% of total expenses. The support is further increased when several savings measures are implemented at the same time or in some sub-programmes (e.g. the new green for Light savings).
With regard to the energy crisis, in addition to the standard subsidy, another special sub-program New Green Savings Light was prepared from 2023. The program is intended for owners of family homes and permanently occupied recreational facilities from the ranks of seniors and households with lower incomes.
