Investments In Energy Efficiency In Housing Now Eligible To Eu Funds All Across Europe

All EU Member States & regions would be able to get EU regional development funding for energy-efficiency & renewable energy investments in housing, under rule changes approved by the European Parliament last April. The rule changes would mean European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) money could co-fund national, regional or local authority schemes to install double glazing, wall insulation or solar panels in housing, or to replace old boilers with more energy efficient ones, in all Member States. Spending on energy efficiency improvements & on the use of renewable energy in housing would only be eligible for ERDF support, up to a ceiling of 4% of the Member State's total ERDF allocation.
