New "Exoikonomo" and Social Housing until 2032
What does the new program for energy upgrading provide?
A new generation of the “Exoikonomo” program is set to launch within 2026, aiming to shield homes against climate change. This new tool will offer subsidies that can exceed 80% for interventions in 1.5 million households. The actions focus on energy upgrading, changing heating systems, and installing new water heaters, ensuring lower energy costs for citizens. 🏡
How is social housing being strengthened in Greece?
For the first time, such a great emphasis is placed on social housing, with a fund amounting to 435 million euros. The plan includes the construction of 2,350 new social housing units, as well as the modernization of student dormitories. The goal is to support vulnerable groups affected by the rising cost of housing, offering quality and affordable living solutions.
What are the changes in green transport?
The Social Climate Fund is investing significantly in green transport and accessibility. It provides subsidies for the acquisition of electric vehicles by small businesses, the creation of social leasing services, as well as full coverage (100%) for transport means for people with disabilities. At the same time, metro trains and urban buses will be upgraded, promoting a more sustainable daily life. 💰
What is the timeline for the interventions?
A total of 25 planned interventions are expected to be set in motion starting in early 2026 and will be completed gradually by 2032. This is a key developmental pillar that will succeed the Recovery Fund, ensuring that the transition to a green economy is carried out in terms of social justice and reliability. 💡
