| Investment 1.2.1.4.i “Improving Energy Efficiency in Public Sector Buildings, including Historic Buildings” |
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
The objective of the investment is to carry out investments to improve energy efficiency and support the transition to renewable energy sources in public sector buildings where cultural or state-delegated functions are provided, including historic buildings, in order to achieve a reduction in total primary energy consumption, promote the use of renewable energy sources in energy production, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Target group
Within the scope of the investment, the beneficiary may be a central government institution or a private-law legal entity that manages and operates state-owned real estate or a building (or group of buildings) in which a cultural function is provided or state-delegated functions are carried out.
PROJECT PROGRESS INFORMATION
The investment is planned to be implemented by 30 June 2026. A total of 11 projects are being implemented, of which construction works are carried out in 8 projects.
The overall target to be achieved by 30 June 2026 under this investment is a reduction in total primary energy consumption in public buildings with improved energy efficiency of at least 3,875 MWh per year as a result of project implementation.
