Next year, the ministry will present a scheme for the financing of projects to improve energy efficiency from non-refundable European funds. It is currently discussing a number of changes to the thermal rehabilitation program, as well as technical issues.
The financing scheme will be included in the 2007-2013 Regional Operational Program, through axis 1 – supporting the durable development of towns.
The beneficiaries will be the local authorities in partnership with homeowners’ associations.
Priority will be given through the program to buildings constructed in 1950-1990, which are very wasteful and incur high maintenance costs, said state secretary Razvan Murgeanu in a press release.
