- Tax regulation mechanisms. Enterprises are eligible for a tax credit (EIA) for investments in specific types of renewable heating systems.
- Loans. Investors in RES H&C projects (excluding biomass and biogas) are eligible for a reduction of the interest rate on the basis of a Green project declaration.
