The main objective of the Next Generation fund is for residential buildings to reduce the consumption of non-renewable primary energy and also to reduce demand according to the climate zone.
The actions to be subsidised are the energy renovation of residential buildings and the construction of social rental housing in energy-efficient buildings.
They constitute extraordinary funds to combat the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic that will have to be made available before June 2026, the deadline for justification in the EU.
Through Royal Decree-Law 19/2021 of 5 October on urgent measures, the Government has prepared a Recovery, Transformation and Resilience plan to improve the energy efficiency of Spanish housing, promoting building renovation activity.
There are currently two types of aid, below you will be able to obtain all the necessary information:
- Aid by Autonomous Communities: You have until 31 Dic 2022 at the latest to apply for this aid.
- In order to apply for this aid you will need to reduce the overall annual energy demand for cooling and heating by at least 7%, or reduce the consumption of primary (non-renewable) energy by at least 30% and also modify construction elements in the thermal envelope (windows or balconies for example) to comply with the values of permeability and thermal transmittance to air that are established in the CTE (Technical Building Code).
- The amount received for this aid is exempt from personal income tax, unlike other subsidies. They do reduce the amount of the investment in the event that it also benefits from the tax deductions to which it could be entitled for this action.
- Tax deductions: There is a tax deduction (IRPF) of up to 20%, with a maximum of €5,000 per year per dwelling, provided that this action reduces the demand for cooling and heating by at least 7%.
- In order to apply for it, it is only necessary to contact an energy certifier, so that he/she can carry out the energy certificate before and after the desired change of structure, and obviously indicate it in the tax return.
Value of the aid (Next generation)
Its value will be up to a maximum of 40% of the cost of the action and a limit of 3000€. Taking into account that the cost of the action is equal to or greater than €1000.
