The subsidized budget (state and private participation, excluding VAT) of each investment proposal of a potential aid beneficiary: 

• may not exceed the amount of five hundred thousand Euro (€500,000) in the case of the tourism sector
• may not exceed the amount of two hundred and fifty thousand Euro (€250,000) in the case of the Trade and Services sector.

Note that in the case of aid for the provision of consulting or ancillary services in total, said aid may not exceed seven percent (7%) of the subsidized budget of the investment plan, with the maximum total of ancillary expenses covered reaching €30,000

In any case, the subsidized budget (state and private participation, excluding VAT) may not exceed the product of €1.45 multiplied by the total estimated annual primary energy savings (kWh). Where the ratio of subsidised budget to annual primary energy savings is less than 1.45, the eligible amounts shall be reduced proportionately.

Expenses eligible under the action include all those related to:

• Costs for the implementation of energy upgrade interventions
• Costs for preparing, submitting and monitoring the application as well as monitoring the achievement of minimum energy targets under the De Minimis Regulation
• Investment costs, required to achieve greater energy efficiency.

Energy saving costs: General Block Exemption Regulation (EU) No 651/2014, as in force. In particular, for the implementation of the program, apart from the costs of consulting / ancillary services, General Block Exemption Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 will be applied and specifically as per the provisions of Articles 38 and 38a.
