8 million euros for energy efficiency actions in agricultural and livestock farms.

The aid program for the implementation of energy efficiency actions in farms was approved by the Council of Ministers on March 10, 2021.

The Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, through the IDAE, will coordinate and monitor the aid, managed by the Autonomous Communities and Cities, direct beneficiaries of the same.

The saving measures to be applied in these exploitations are directed to:

• The renovation of existing installations, both heat generators and air conditioning systems, lighting, pumps or other consuming equipment.
• Substitution of conventional energy in thermal installations for others using renewable thermal energies (solar thermal energy, biomass, waste, geothermal energy, or aerothermal or hydrothermal heat pumps), which will reduce energy consumption by 30%

Under this structure, the two lines of aid contemplated in this Royal Decree have been designed, which contemplate the renovation of obsolete installations, improving the energy efficiency of existing installations.

The main characteristics of the aid program for the implementation of energy efficiency actions in agricultural and livestock farms are summarized below:

• Budget: Budget allocation of €30,000,000.
• Period of validity: Applications may be submitted in the Autonomous Communities, from the date established in their calls for applications until December 31, 2021.
• Final recipients: natural or legal persons, irrigation communities, irrigated farm owners, agricultural producers’ organizations or associations, renewable energy communities and citizen energy communities and energy service companies.
• Amount of aid: For Action 1: Improvement of the energy efficiency of irrigation facilities: Maximum limit: 30% of the eligible cost. For Action 2: Improvement of energy efficiency and renewable energies in agricultural and livestock farms: Maximum limit: 30% of the eligible cost.
