Grants for heat pumps and insulation
Eko sklad gives grants (nepovratne finančne spodbude) to citizens for heat pumps, biomass heating, solar heating, district-heat substations, windows and insulation. Current call: 126SUB-OB26, for work done from 1 March 2026. Apply online via eUprava after the work is finished.
- Owners (at least half-owners) who are materially deprived, e.g. receiving denarna socialna pomoč or varstveni dodatek, can get separate Eko sklad grants to reduce energy poverty (calls ZER), for insulation, windows, hot water, ventilation and heating replacement. (e-uprava.gov.si)
