Energy Renovation in Cyprus: Grants, Steps and What to Expect
Cyprus offers some of the most generous energy renovation subsidies in the EU, yet many homeowners and landlords don’t take advantage of them. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Cyprus SAVE Programme
The SAVE (Saving Energy) scheme, administered by the Cyprus Energy Service, provides grants covering 30–50% of qualifying energy upgrade costs. Maximum grant per household: €10,000.
What Qualifies?
| Measure | Maximum Grant |
|---|---|
| Roof insulation | Up to €2,000 |
| Wall insulation | Up to €3,000 |
| Heat pump installation | Up to €3,500 |
| Solar water heater | Up to €1,500 |
| Smart energy management | Up to €1,000 |
Solar Panels: Separate Scheme
Photovoltaic installation is handled through the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) net-metering programme. Grants of up to 40% of system cost apply under certain conditions.
A 5kW rooftop system in Limassol costs approximately €6,000–€8,000 installed, with a payback period of 4–7 years at current electricity prices.
Step-by-Step: Applying for the Grant
- Energy audit — A certified energy auditor assesses your property (we can coordinate this)
- Application submission — Submit to the Energy Service of Cyprus with supporting documents
- Approval — Typically takes 4–8 weeks
- Works completed — Renovation carried out by a certified contractor (we are certified)
- Grant payment — Reimbursement transferred after inspection
Why Act Now?
Electricity prices in Cyprus are among the highest in the EU. A properly insulated and solar-equipped Limassol property can reduce energy bills by 40–60%. Combined with the available grants, the economics have never been better.
