Contracts for energy efficiency upgrades awarded to 284 Novi Beograd residents

A total of 284 residents in Novi Beograd have received contracts to improve the energy efficiency of their homes and apartments through the "Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency for Citizens" project.

The project, a collaboration between the Novi Beograd Municipal Assembly and the Ministry of Mining and Energy, offers grants to cover partial costs for measures such as replacing windows and doors or installing solar panels. Of the approved contracts, three specifically involve the installation of solar panels.

Ivana Nikolić, president of the Novi Beograd Municipal Assembly, highlighted that this year, all eligible residents who applied received subsidies. She noted that the funding allocated for the project has more than doubled compared to the previous year. Nikolić emphasized the dual benefits for citizens: significant reductions in utility bills, estimated at 30%, and a substantial contribution to the state's overall energy savings.

With savings of 30 percent, you will drastically reduce your bills, and thereby significantly contribute to energy savings at the state level.

This year also marked the first time the municipality launched a public call for socially vulnerable categories, resulting in subsidies for individuals with disabilities, low-income pensioners, and recipients of care and assistance benefits.

Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović Handanović thanked the citizens for their strong interest, stating that their participation aligns with the Serbian government's objectives for energy sustainability, reduced energy consumption, and environmental protection. She mentioned that the program, implemented across Serbia for several years, aims to provide subsidies for energy efficiency measures to 50,000 households. An initial survey of past beneficiaries indicated that 97% reported an improvement in their living conditions due to the subsidized measures.
