The second stage of application will cover the period until the end of 2023.

The programme will finance activities such as replacing window frames, thermal insulation of walls, roofs and floors, installation of renewable energy sources, repair or replacement of heating, cooling and ventilation systems in the common parts of buildings, repair of electrical systems in the common parts, energy-efficient lighting etc.
