Retrofit Grant Scheme

The Retrofit grant scheme finances businesses (both SMEs and large enterprises) to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and limit energy waste through the retrofitting of private sector buildings.

• This Grant Scheme will support eligible enterprises to undertake actions that reduce the Primary Energy Demand (PED) of the building, by reducing the energy used for heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water, and lighting.

• To be eligible, these actions should lead to a PED reduction of at least 30% compared to the situation prior to the investment.

• If such a reduction is achieved, the project shall be reimbursed through a Standard Scale of Unit Cost per square metre (refer to the funding details below).

• Maximum funding is €5,000,000 per undertaking.

• The actual amount of aid, established in line with the applicable state aid intensities, shall be paid through a Standard Scale of Unit Cost per square metre, which varies according to the:
  • Targeted reduction in percentage PED;
  • The size of the undertaking; and
  • Whether the investment shall take place in Malta or Gozo.

• Standard Scale of Unit Cost for investments in Malta range between €130 - €400 per square metre, whilst those in Gozo range between €170 - €440 per square metre, depending on the above-mentioned factors.

• Aid under this scheme will be awarded in accordance with the General Block Exemption Regulation (“GBER”).
