Support of RES-H infrastructure

Updated: 17.01.2019

Author: Lilian Pungas

District heating infrastructure development is within the competence of local authorities. There is therefore no nationwide regulation concerning the support for RES-H. However, there are investment funds available for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of energy use in district heating systems and reducing pollutant emissions from the production system, and also to promote renewable energy use and renovate heating systems in small residential houses. 

Addressees

Heating utilities, local government units or companies belonging to local governments. For small residential houses, the owners or authorized co-owners of the houses may apply for support. 

Competent authority

Competent authority is the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications in cooperation with the Environmental Investment Centre and with KredEx (for small residential houses).
