• The start date of the eligible actions must be after 1 February 2020. 
• Investments in thermal generators using fossil fuels are not eligible, although they may be included in the project and in the final energy performance certificate. 
• The dwellings for which aid is requested under this programme must be the habitual and permanent residence of their owners, usufructuaries or tenants at the time of submission of the application. This can be demonstrated by means of a certificate or registration document. 
• The duration of the works must not exceed 12 months from the date on which the aid is granted and must be completed before 30.6.2026. 

Grants awarded under this call for proposals will not be compatible with the following calls for grants for the renovation of the city of Barcelona: 

Renovation programmes 

• The Neighbourhood Renovation Programme, the Action Programme to Improve Energy Efficiency in Housing and the Programme for the Preparation of the Building Book for Renovation and the Design of Renovation Projects: 
  • For the neighbourhoods of El Besòs i el Maresme, El Congrés i els Indians, la Pau, Trinitat Vella and Canyelles (programmes 1, 4 and 5). 
  • For residential buildings in the Pla de Barris ERRP area (programmes 1, 4 and 5). 
  • For residential buildings in the ERRP area of buildings on public land (programmes 1, 4 and 5). 
• Renovation programme at building level for single-family and multi-family dwellings, the Programme to improve energy efficiency in housing and the Programme for the preparation of the building book for renovation and the design of renovation projects (programmes 3, 4 and 5). 

This incompatibility does not apply if, after applying for this aid, the community of owners applies for aid at the level of the building from the aforementioned calls. 

The total amount of the grant is up to €6,000 but cannot exceed the total cost of the work. The amount of the grant comes from two different funds: 

• On the one hand, the grant from the EU's Next Generation Fund, which amounts to 40% of the cost of the work, with a maximum of €3,000. 
• On the other hand, the additional municipal grant: in the case of dwellings not included in other programmes of the NGUE P1-P3 calls, a further €3,000 will be subsidised. 

In any case, the minimum cost of the action will be €1,000 to be eligible for the grant. 

The work must be completed before 30 June 2026, the deadline for applications.
