Support of RES-H infrastructure (Programul “Termoficare 2006-2020 – caldura si confort)
Updated: 18.01.2019
The subsidy programme “Termoficare 2006-2020 – caldura si confort” encourages investment in the district heat infrastructure on local level and provides co-financing from the state budget managed by the Ministry of Administration and Interior. Local authorities may initiate projects aiming at the modernisation, extension and reset of the district heating infrastructure (art. 3 par. 2 Regulation from 05/06/2012). Projects should e.g. reduce the heat loss in the district heating infrastructure to max. 15% (art. 2 Regulation from 05/06/2012). Up to 70% of the eligible costs can be co-financed from the state budget managed by the Ministry of Administration and Interior (art. 4 par. 2 Regulation from 05/06/2012). Eligible costs are specified in the Financing Guidelines attached to the Regulation 05/06/2012. Decree No. 252/2015 has allocated approx. RON 52.5 million (approx. € 11.6 million) in co-financing to 11 Romanian municipalities which received funding for modernising their district heating infrastructure within the programme “Termoficare 2006-2020 – caldura si confort”. Furthermore, the programme has been extended beyond 2015 until 2020 (Decision 602/2015).
