This incentive seeks to assist enterprises and voluntary organisations, through non-repayable grants, to part-finance investment to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy demand, lower carbon emissions and limit energy waste through the retrofitting of private sector buildings.
The scheme is open to micro-, small-, medium- and large-sized enterprises engaged in economic activity, irrespective of their legal form, subject to exclusions, as well as Voluntary Organisations (which are registered and compliant with the Office of the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations and the Malta Business Register (MBR)).
It is important to note that any enterprises whose principal activities fall under the following sectors and sections of the NACE Rev. 2. are ineligible for the Retrofitting of Private Sector Buildings Grant Scheme outlined above:

This scheme will remain operational until 31 December 2024, subject to availability of funds having the following cut-off dates:
All projects must be completed by 30 June 2026 and should support the businesses in becoming more sustainable, energy-efficient and more competitive. Since the scheme operates on a reimbursement basis, the beneficiary is also required to complete a claims process throughout the project.
