Incentives „Széchenyi Plan” March 2011

• Investment subsidy for renewables and

energy saving

Companies State and local authorities Non-profit associations Max eligible rate of support 50% 85% 60%

13

Trapped municipalities

• Indebted communities
• Vicious circle →no sources left because of

rising energy bills

• Little political benefit from renewables

CO2 quota

30% Subsidy to improve the energy efficiency of homes

• Isolation
• Boiler replacement
• Renewables

17

Objectives National level

• Renewable energy act
• Mandatory use of renewable energy,

especially swimming pools and construction of new buildings

• Long-term plannig to support programs

and incentives

• Simplification

18

EU level objectives

• Energy chapter should be included in all EU

funds

• Certain part of each EU fund has to be allocated

to these energy chapters

• Funds must be transferable to energy

chapteres

• If the following mandatory targets are not met,

the access for the funds should be limited:

• NREAP
• Climate commitments
• Energy efficiency
