Up to 400 thousand for a green roof or heat pump. Prague launches new subsidy scheme

Prague residents can apply from the beginning of July until the end of August under the Clean Energy programme for subsidies for the installation of heat pumps, solar thermal systems or green roofs. Prague City Hall spokesperson Vít Hofman said this today in a press release. Individuals, housing cooperatives and homeowners' associations can apply for the subsidy. The city has 25 million crowns available for allocation this year, with the same amount included in the programme next year.

The programme, which follows the so-called boiler subsidies, now includes not only heating modernisation but also measures aimed at mitigating the impacts of climate change. "Prague is already implementing its own adaptation measures and supporting city districts in doing so. We now also want to offer support to residents so that they can create more greenery on their plots and homes, collect rainwater in tanks and implement other measures that help cool the city," said Deputy Mayor Jana Komrsková (independent, formerly Pirates).
