📜 The rules in Malta

Grants for heat pumps and insulation

REWS runs the household grant schemes. The Water Heater Scheme (solar and heat pump water heaters) and the Roof Insulation and Double Glazing (retrofitting) scheme are extended to 31 December 2026. Submit Part A online before you buy or install anything.

  • For water heaters, wait for REWS's confirmation letter before buying. A complete application is generally decided within five weeks; Part B follows after installation, within six months of acceptance. (rews.org.mt)
  • The roof insulation and double glazing scheme (Government Notice 2031 of 2025) is for private individuals on their residential property; Part A must be done online before purchase and installation. (rews.org.mt)
  • The 2026 Renewable Energy Sources Scheme (PV with hybrid inverter: 65% up to €3,000; battery: 75% up to €6,000) stopped accepting applications on 12 September 2026. (rews.org.mt)
