Llega el otoño y es el momento de preparar la casa para el cambio de temperaturas, una rehabilitación energética puede ayudar a ahorrar energía. Las ayudas “Next Generation” de los fondos europeos ya están en marcha y aún puedes solicitar tu ayuda para rehabilitar la fachada instalando un sistema de aislamiento SATE.
Program to support rehabilitation actions at the building level
The program of aid for rehabilitation actions at the building level is one of the five pillars on which the integral residential rehabilitation plan is based, endowed with 3,420 million euros.
These grants will finance actions aimed at obtaining an accredited improvement of energy efficiency in housing with special attention to the building envelope that separates the interior of the building from the exterior.
What is the objective of the program?
Rehabilitation actions in residential buildings and single-family dwellings must improve energy efficiency and must therefore be accredited:
- Reduction of at least 30% of non-renewable primary energy consumption, referred to energy certification.
- Reduction in overall annual heating and cooling energy demand of: 35% in climate zones D and E and 25% in climate zone C.

European Commission calls for a climate-neutral Europe by 2050
Residential and service buildings currently account for 40% of the EU's energy consumption. In Spain, approximately 54% of dwellings were built more than 35 years ago, before current energy efficiency standards existed, so it is necessary to adapt them to be more sustainable and save energy.
The objective of this energy efficiency is to promote more sustainable consumption, reduce energy costs and promote thermal comfort to ensure well-being inside the home.
Un buen aislante térmico de fachadas como el SATE ayuda a mantener una temperatura estable en el interior de la vivienda, en un rango de entre 20 y 22 grados, permitiendo ahorrar entre un 20% y un 50% de energía al reducir el consumo de sistemas de climatización.
Who can benefit from grants for the rehabilitation of facades or houses?
The subsidies are aimed primarily at homeowners, usufructuaries and tenants.
Next Generation support requirements:
- Its year of construction must be prior to 1996. Unless some work has been done to optimize its accessibility and energy efficiency.
- If it is a single-family dwelling, it must be the usual and permanent residence.
- If it is a community of neighbors, 70% of its surface must be for residential use. For 50% of its inhabitants, it must be their first residence or habitual residence.
What is the amount of aid for the rehabilitation of houses and facades?
How are grants awarded?
The grants will be awarded through calls for applications in simple concurrence published by the Autonomous Regions, Ceuta and Melilla, which implies that the applications will be selected in strict order of presentation until the funds are exhausted.
Deadlines for executing the work and certifying the objectives achieved
The deadline for executing the energy and sustainability improvement works may not exceed 26 months from the date the aid is granted. Although the deadline may be extended exceptionally if the interventions affect 40 or more dwellings, the execution of all the subsidized actions must be completed before June 30, 2026.
The final beneficiaries must present the necessary documentation to justify the execution of the action and the savings achieved within a maximum of three months after the end of the deadline for carrying out the interventions.
