EIOP specific objectives, priorities1. Protection and improvement of the environment that will

improve • the quality and coverage of environmental services and

utilities, • nature conservation and • energy initiatives. Environmental protection priority2. Improvement of the transport network through investments in

upgrading the national transport infrastructure Transport priority

EIOP in numbers

Total budget :111 billion HUF/435 million EUR

• Share of Environment priority: 42.3 billion HUF/ 166 million EUR

Energy measure: 5.03 billion HUF/ 20 million EUR

• Share of Transport priority: 64.2 billion HUF/252 million EUR

• Share of Technical Assistance: 4.5 billion HUF/ 17 million EUR

• ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Objectives:1. Increase the use of electricity generated from renewable

energy sources. (final goal: 3.6% by 2010) The promoted use of renewable energy sources will help to develop the existing network, achieve a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and encourage economic development in rural areas.

2. Increase of conscious and rational energy use and decrease of emissions causing air pollution.

Components:1. Increasing the use of the renewable energy resources - 60%2. Increasing energy efficiency - 40%

Supported activities:

Increasing the use of renewable energy resources:

1. Establishment of capacities aimed at the supply and transformation of fuels required for the operation of equipment producing renewable energy; (wood waste system, pellet system, baling equipment, plant oil pressers, etc.)

2. Facilitating investments based on use of a significant capacity from renewable energy sources with the participation of local inhabitants and/or actors of the market (biomass, geothermal, solar, wind, and low-performance hydroelectric power plants);

3. Public investments; establishing circular biomass or geothermal district heating systems in small settlements; utilisation of depony gas.

Supported activities:

Increasing energy efficiency : 1. Energy efficiency developments of the local authorities; modernisation of

the energetics of buildings, institutions, modernisation of district-heating supply, cogeneration (CHP).

2. Energy efficiency developments of small and medium sized enterprises; modernisation of the energetics of buildings, co-generation, modernisation of technology, utilising heat from landfill wastes, in case of district heating manufacturers and services modernisation of district heating systems.

Beneficiaries• Central budgetary entities and their institutions;

• local governments and their institutions;

• public benefit companies;

• business companies with majority municipality ownership;

• business companies with majority state ownership;

• foundations,associations, sport clubs, churches, alliances, fellowships, unions;

• small and medium enterprises.

• From the above mentioned beneficiaries formed consortiums

Aid rates and project size

Aid rates depend on:

1. type of activity• energy efficiency, max. 40 %, but max.300 million HUF• renewable energy projects max.60%, for non-electricity

projects max. 300 million HUF

2. type of beneficiary

• for SME’s between 16-40 % • for municipalities, non profit organisations 18-60%Minimum project size : 125 million HUF
