Buildings in the content of the Plan (extracted from the REC/E3G Czech Country Profile)
Czechia’s final NRRP comprises measures worth €7.85bn. A total of €1.14bn (~15%) are allocated to building-related measures, of which €806m for energy renovation of buildings (~10%). The largest share of €393m¹ is allocated to the existing ‘New Green Savings’ scheme which supports complex renovations of residential buildings. It finances a range of measures targeting deep renovation, including building envelope measures, heat replacement, adaptation, and solar power. A further €295m is allocated for the renovation of public and state buildings. €98m of this is to support project preparation in the public sector (including, but not limited to, building renovation), and almost €20m is for feasibility assessments and awareness-raising, education, training, and advice provision in the fields of energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction. A further €334m will be used to fund another existing scheme – Kotlíkové dotace (boiler subsidies), targeting coal replacement and air quality improvement in single-family homes in rural communities. Both programmes allow gas boilers to be funded – an improvement on coal but incompatible with climate neutrality.
