Η αύξηση του κόστους των κατασκευαστικών υλικών έως και 30% σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις, αναγκάζει το υπουργείο Περιβάλλοντος και Ενέργειας να αναθεωρήσει τα ποσά για το ύψος της επιδότησης για το νέο Εξοικονομώ, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις εκκλήσεις και τις προτάσεις των παραγόντων της αγοράς.

According to sources from ministry circles, the staff is considering both increasing the amount of the subsidy, as well as expanding the eligible costs after the consultation that preceded with stakeholders.

Με στόχο την όσο καλύτερη προστασία των καταναλωτών το επιτελείο του υπουργείου Περιβάλλοντος και Ενέργειας, εξετάζει το ενδεχόμενο να συμπεριληφθούν περισσότερα υλικά τα οποία και είχαν αποκλειστεί από το νέο Εξοικονομώ. Με αυτό τον τρόπο δίνεται η δυνατότητα στους δικαιούχους να επιλέξουν τα υλικά που θέλουν, βάσει του προϋπολογισμού τους.

Αύξηση της επιδότησης για το νέο Εξοικονομώ

According to reports, it is almost certain that the subsidy will increase. This increase is expected to be at 20 euros per square meter.

This amount, however, is lower than the proposals tabled which also mentioned up to EUR 270 per square metre.

This is because, on the basis of a total budget of EUR 632 million, Euro, the ministry must act wisely. This budget will be allocated to 50,000 homes and the frameworks for bold increases are very narrow.
