The participation criteria for the new "Saving - Being Autonomous"

The minister pointed out that "in the new program, the age of construction of the building, the rate of energy upgrade, the degree days - ie the days of cold and extreme heat - will be taken into account, along with income criteria, for the evaluation of applications.

The ministry plans to adopt the model already implemented by the ministry of finance for the heating subsidy. The relevant system for monitoring the energy needs of households has been developed by the National Meteorological Service, which has mapped the country based on temperature and heating-cooling time (degree days).

Depending on the climatic conditions of each region, the amount of the subsidy will be determined. For the elaboration of this model, the ministry cooperates with the Technical Chamber of Greece, which will determine the needs of energy upgrade per region.
The program will also include income criteria, giving the advantage to households that have lower family income in the subsidy for the energy renovation of their homes.

It is recalled that in the current program that was completed last month there were no income criteria.
