Thermal account

The thermal account incentivizes interventions for energy efficiency in the Public Administration and for the production of thermal energy from renewable sources. The beneficiaries, with funds of 900 million euros per year available, are the Public Administrations, to which 200 million are allocated, and private entities, only for the production of thermal energy from RES, to which 700 million are allocated. The incentive is commensurate with the production of thermal energy from RES or energy savings and is paid as a capital contribution that varies from 40% to 65% of the expenditure incurred. Specifically:
- up to 65% for the demolition and reconstruction of nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB);
- up to 40% for wall and roof insulation interventions, for the replacement of window closures with more efficient ones, for the installation of solar screens, for the replacement of lighting fixtures, for the installation of building automation technologies and for the replacement of traditional boilers with condensing boilers;
- up to 50% for thermal insulation interventions in climate zones E/F and up to 55% in the case of thermal insulation and replacement of window closures, if combined with another system (condensing boiler, heat pumps, solar thermal);
- up to 65% for the replacement of traditional systems with heat pump systems, biomass boilers and appliances, hybrid heat pump systems and solar thermal systems.
