National Energy Conservation Programme 2008 (NEP 2008)

The National Energy Conservation Programme has been offering energy efficiency grants to households each year for the last 6 years. In 2008, five different types of energy efficiency improvements are subsidised as part of the programme, each with a different subsidy intensity (SI), that is the percentage of the overall investment that is subsidised by the state. 1. Change or insulation of windows and doors, SI of 15% up to a maximum per dwelling of HUF 265 000 2. Improvement of heating and hot water supply (eg, change of boiler), SI of 20%, up to a maximum per dwelling of HUF 400 000 3. Thermal insulation of existing buildings, SI of 20% up to a maximum per dwelling of HUF 400 000 4. Complex energy efficiency improvement of buildings, SI of 18% up to a maximum per dwelling of HUF 720 000 5. Use of renewable energy (biomass, geothermal energy, wind, waste, solar collectors and Photovoltaic) for generating heat and/or electricity, SI of 25% up to a maximum per dwelling of HUF1 000 000
