The Ministry of Construction and Physical Planning disseminates, on a monthly basis, by e-mail and by publication on the Ministry's website, its newsletter (Novosti) - bringing topical events and issues related to energy renovation of buildings co-financed from European Structural and Investment Funds.
Since 2015, the Ministry of Construction and Physical Planning as Intermediate Body Level 1 has announced a total of four Calls for energy renovation of buildings under which eligible applicants were institutions performing educational activities, and one Call for energy renovation of multi-apartment buildings.
By the beginning of September 2019, a total of 486 Agreements on the award of grants for energy renovation of buildings of kindergartens, elementary and secondary schools and faculties were signed (which includes 321 agreements under the calls Pilot project 4c1.1., Pilot project 4c1.2. and Call 4c1.3. and 165 agreements under call 4c1.4). The total project value exceeds HRK 1.9 billion, and the total amount of grants from the European Regional Development Fund exceeds HRK 883 million.
Continuous education of potential applicants, which is imperative to the Ministry since the launching of the first calls in 2015 most certainly contributes to an excellent response of potential applicants to the Ministry’s calls. To date, as many as 91 informative and implementation workshops have been held, with the participation of almost 2600 potential applicants and beneficiaries of projects of energy renovation of public sector and multi-apartment buildings.
