NON-REPAYABLE GRANTS
Agrisolare
Agrisolare is a non-repayable grant for the construction of photovoltaic systems on buildings used for production in the agricultural, livestock, and agro-industrial sectors.
For primary production agricultural companies, photovoltaic systems are eligible for aid only if the objective is to meet the company’s energy needs and if their production capacity does not exceed the average annual electricity consumption of the agricultural company, including household consumption.
“Projects that include the purchase and installation of photovoltaic panels on roofs of buildings instrumental to the activities of beneficiary subjects will be funded. This includes buildings intended for reception and hospitality within the scope of agrotourism activities.”
In addition to this activity, one or more of the following retrofitting actions aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the structures can be carried out:
- Removal and disposal of asbestos from the roofs;
- Implementation of thermal insulation for the roofs;
- Creation of a ventilation system connected to the roof replacement (ventilated roof and air evacuation chimneys).
From 2022 to 2026, the resources amount to 1.5 billion euros, charged to the funds of the PNRR, Mission 2, Component 1, Investment 2.2. At least 40% of these resources are allocated to projects to be carried out in the regions of Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise, Puglia, Sardinia, and Sicily.
The beneficiary applies for the grant in the manner and terms set in the provisions and in the notice of adherence, where the time window for submitting applications will be identified.
The beneficiaries must implement, test, and report the actions within 18 months from the date of publication of the list of beneficiaries admitted to the grant.
The grant is issued within 30 days of approval of the application. The disbursement will be made by bank transfer to the specified IBAN at the time of application submission, in a single installment at the end of the project within 90 days after acquiring the complete documentation, except for the option to grant an advance up to 30% backed by an adequate guarantee.
