How to request aid of up to 3,000 euros from the ‘Renove Plan’ for windows of the Community of Madrid: requirements and amounts

The Community of Madrid has launched a new edition of the Windows Renewal Planwith the aim of improving energy efficiency in homes and reducing consumption through the installation of more modern windows. With a budget of three million euros, the program plans to benefit nearly 4,000 Madrid homes, offering subsidies of up to 3,000 euros per household. To access these it is necessary to meet certain requirements.

The regional government has allocated more than three million euros to this initiative, which offers two types of financing. On the one hand, 120 euros per square meter of window and another, 180 euros for the motorized box that houses the blinds. The Environment Minister of the Community of Madrid, Carlos Novillo, highlighted the importance of this initiative of the regional government to combat climate change, since it would positively improve the energy efficiency of Madrid homes: “This would advance the decarbonization process”.

This aid of 3,000 euros would focus on cost of materials and labor necessary to replace the windows. Of course, all without the Value Added Tax (VAT) and taking into account that it will have to be done through those companies that are within the “Renove Plan”, or what is the same, that have requested to be part of the plan. According to Novillo, it is a way to boost the economic activity of all types of companies in this sector in the region: “It goes beyond just the windows, it includes manufacturers of glass, blinds, hardware…”
