Environment Minister: Interest in rooftop solar power subsidies growing

Interest in state rooftop solar power subsidies is growing, with the Czech Environment Ministry already having registered more applications this year than for the entire year of 2021, Environment Minister Anna Hubáčková said on Thursday. Thus far, 34,544 applications for funding, worth a total of CZK 6.7 billion, have been registered by the ministry in 2022.

It is expected that demand will exceed the government allocated CZK 10 billion budget for the relevant Nová zelená úsporám (New green for savings) funding programme. However, the ministry is prepared to allocate more funds to the programme from its modernisation fund, the Czech News Agency reports.
