As of yesterday, while speaking within the Ukrainian Energy Efficiency Forum ’16 (named «Energy Efficiency Fund, Ukraine’s Major Start-Up. Laws, Investment, Output»), the Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groisman said Ukrainians presently have an opportunity to insulate their homes before winter and reduce cost for utilities at the expense of the State through the Government program for energy efficiency, so-called «warm» loans, Government Portal reports.
As to Groisman, the tools that allowed Ukrainians to use irrevocable cash assistance from the State for energy efficiency measures were introduced in 2014. At that time, everything began with a most simple thing provision of 20% compensation to households for replacement of gas boilers to electric ones.
«Within these two years, the program has developped. This year, the funding has tripled and makes up
UAH894 million. This means that another 300 thousand Ukrainian families can receive from the state resources for carrying out thermal isolation, and thus save their own resources formerly spent on heat purchase, produced from Russian gas,» Groisman admitted.
Besides, the PM also suggested that this resource may be insufficient, given the growing demand for «warm» loans, but he assured that the authorities will keep on working on the development of this extremely important area.
