  • Greece's Ministry of Environment and Energy has extended the deadline for completing "Exoikonomo" programs.
  • The new deadline for beneficiaries to finish energy upgrade interventions is July 17, 2026.
  • These programs, funded by the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility, aim to reduce energy costs and improve building efficiency.

Greece has announced an extension for the completion of its "Exoikonomo" (Save Money) energy efficiency programs, which are implemented through the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The Ministry of Environment and Energy stated the new deadline for beneficiaries to finalize their energy upgrade projects is July 17, 2026.

This extension aims to support citizens and businesses, ensuring the smooth completion of planned interventions. The Ministry emphasized that this new deadline is final, as the Recovery and Resilience Facility is concluding, and no further extensions will be granted.

The affected programs include "Exoikonomo 2021," "Exoikonomo 2023," "Exoikonomo โ€“ Renovate for Youth," "Exoikonomo 2025," and "Exoikonomo โ€“ Business & Change Device in Businesses." These initiatives are considered a key tool for reducing household and business energy expenses, upgrading the building stock, and enhancing overall energy efficiency.

These "Exoikonomo" actions are part of Greece's National Recovery and Resilience Plan, "Greece 2.0," and are co-financed by the European Union through the NextGenerationEU fund.
