Reconstruction subsidy for small residential buildings
Väikeelamu rekonstrueerimise toetus
Background information
The subsidy aims to support owners to reconstruct small residential buildings. The aim of the measure is to improve the energy efficiency and indoor climate of small residential buildings, to reduce energy expenses, promote using renewable energy and to increase the number of energy efficient housing.
The measure is regulated by a Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications regulation and managed by Kredex (a foundation created by the ministry).
Content of measure
The measure is aimed at individuals for reconstruction works on small residential buildings that are in their ownership. The small residential building has to be the permanent place of residence of the applicant. There are many conditions for the subsidy, including type of reconstruction, conditions for obtaining price quotes, conditions relating to the applicant and so forth.
The total budget for the measure was €28 million. Per case, the subsidy covers a maximum of 20% of expenses with the maximum subsidy amount €20,000 euros per small residential building. However, the budget per case depends on the type of reconstruction and is subject to conditions. In order to qualify, the applicant has to be able to finance the rest of the expenses by themselves.
The payment is made to the recipient only when at least a proportional share of the supported activities corresponding to the subsidy amount have been conducted. For example, if the subsidy rate is 30%, the recipient can request payment if they submit proof that the work has been done for at least 30% of the activities. The proof is usually a legal document of delivery and receipt.
Use of measure
The latest available information is that from April 6, 2022 to June 30, 2023, KredEx received 3,429 applications.
