This program, which includes bathroom or kitchen renovations as part of a comprehensive energy intervention, primarily aims to facilitate access to decent housing for vulnerable groups and reactivate the considerable number of vacant properties in the country, especially in high-demand regions like the Canary Islands.

The funds come from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and are expected to drive up to 510,000 actions before June 2026. The essential condition for accessing these subsidies is that the work achieves a 30% reduction in non-renewable energy consumption or a 7% decrease in heating and cooling demand.

This means that a simple aesthetic renovation will not be sufficient; it must be accompanied by improvements in insulation, window replacement, or renovation of energy installations. Furthermore, certification by a technician verifying energy efficiency before and after the intervention is mandatory.

The amount of aid varies according to the level of energy savings achieved, potentially reaching up to 21,400 euros per dwelling in cases of greater impact. Actions achieving 30% savings can receive between 40% and 80% of the cost, while comprehensive renovations with more than 60% savings qualify for the maximum. An additional benefit is that these grants are exempt from personal income tax.

The management of these subsidies is carried out through regional governments and municipalities, which publish their own calls for applications. It is recommended to submit documentation promptly, as the system operates on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. Additionally, the Government has enabled financing lines through the ICO to facilitate loans covering the unsubsidized portion of the works.

The program has a budget of 3.42 billion euros and aims to renovate 300,000 homes annually by 2030, significantly improving the energy efficiency of the Spanish housing stock.
