New Green Savings and Renovate Grandma’s House open to Czech single-family homeowners

Owners of single-family homes can apply from today for grants under the New Green Savings programme, including its Renovate Grandma’s House sub-programme. The money can be used for insulation, photovoltaic systems including water heating, and even the replacement of old, non-ecological boilers. The Renovate Grandma’s House sub-programme includes an asset test, meaning only households with one residential property will be eligible for support.

Applications are accepted by the State Environmental Fund (SFŽP). Through the Renovate Grandma’s House programme, the state will distribute 40 billion crowns among applicants. From January, the programme will also offer the option of applying for a preferential loan from building societies, according to Minister of the Environment Petr Hladík (KDU-ČSL).

Grants under Renovate Grandma’s House are paid in advance and support the highest category of comprehensive insulation. The basic grant is capped at 50 percent of direct project costs and at one million crowns, and economically active people can apply for it. Households receive a bonus of 50.000 crowns for each dependent child. This benefit also applies to children born by 2030.
