EFEKT - State programme to promote energy savings and use of renewable and secondary energy sources
This national subsidy programme was implementing a strategic action document: "National programme for the energy management and the use of renewable sources of energy". In the past, 15 sectors were involved. Nowadays, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is the only programme administrator. The Call for applications is revised each year. Applicants include enterprises (legal entities and individuals), non-profit organisations, universities, regions, towns and municipalities. Programme targets include the implementation of savings measures in the areas of generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of energy; and higher use of renewable and secondary sources of energy and the development of cogeneration of heat, cooling and electricity.
Support for energy planning and certification of buildings: territorial energy planning; action plans for reconstruction or refurbishment of building resources; plans for energy saving in industrial enterprises; plans for construction of centres for use of municipal waste for energy purposes; certificates of energy intensity of buildings. Support for energy generation and distribution facilities: increased efficiency of energy use in energy generation and distribution facilities; combined generation of heat and electricity; higher use of renewable and secondary sources of energy. Support for measures aimed at increasing the efficiency of energy use: decreased energy intensity of industrial plant; comprehensive measures aimed at decreasing the energy intensity of buildings used in education, health services and public utilities; comprehensive measures aimed at decreasing the energy intensity of housing; low energy and passive solar housing; comprehensive measures aimed at decreasing the energy intensity in lighting; projects financed through energy savings. Support for consultancy, education, promotion and awareness with respect to the economical use of energy, affecting the safeguarding of the environment: consultancy; regional energy agencies; education and promotion; preparation of products in support of consultancy, education and promotion.
