Recently, the Eco Fund has financed a free energy advisory network to improve energy efficiency for households, including tackling the issue of energy poverty. Concerning energy poverty, the Eco Fund issued a public call for donations for 500 low-income households in Slovenia through the project Program ZERO500.
The aim was to implement energy efficiency measures which would lead to a reduction of energy and electricity consumption, thus a reduction of energy bills. Some of the measures implemented included: thermal insulation of the roof, ceiling and facade, new doors and windows, and the replacement of the water heating equipment with solar panels or a heat pump. The incentives covered 100% of the cost of works within a maximum limit.
