Cyprus launches 20 million euro energy upgrade scheme for residences

On October 20, 2026, the Cypriot Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry launched the 'Save – Upgrade Residences (2026)' grant scheme. With a total budget of 20 million euros, the initiative aims to support approximately 1,300 to 1,400 households by reducing energy consumption and lowering electricity, heating, and cooling costs.

Applicants can receive grants of up to 32,000 euros per residence. The scheme is part of the 'THALIA 2021–2027' program, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus. Eligible applicants must be natural persons with residences connected to the electricity grid before January 1, 2008, and possess a residential EAC (EAC) electricity account. Each individual is limited to one application.

The application period runs from October 20, 2026, until December 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM, or until funds are exhausted. Submissions must be made electronically via the fundingapps.meci.gov.cy platform. Applications will be evaluated strictly on a first-come, first-served basis according to the submission timestamp.
