Ministry of Environment launches another call for industrial modernisation

“We are directing tens of millions more euros from the Modernisation Fund, not the state budget, towards modernising industry and increasing its competitiveness. I have a strong interest in seeing modern industry flourish in Slovakia. We want to use every single euro effectively to provide real support for industry and environmental protection alike. This call is another welcome stimulus for Slovak industry and the economy,” emphasised Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Environment of the Slovak Republic Tomáš Taraba.

Applicants can obtain a grant ranging from 300 thousand to 5 million euros for the modernisation of production and administrative buildings within industrial sites, as well as a grant ranging from 1 million to 30 million euros for the modernisation of industrial production technologies that will increase energy efficiency.

Specific activities eligible for support include, for example, the insulation of buildings and roofs, the replacement of windows and doors in industrial buildings used for economic activities, the modernisation of lighting, heating systems, hot water systems, cooling or ventilation, as well as the modernisation of energy distribution systems and the installation of production machinery, equipment and technologies to increase energy efficiency.

According to Marek Giba, Director General of the Environmental Fund, applicants must submit project documentation and also hold a valid building permit for the implementation of the investment project. “The project documentation must also include an energy assessment, that is, a document assessing the energy performance of the buildings,” Giba explained.

The full text of the call, including all the conditions for obtaining a grant, is available on the Environmental Fund's website.
