Energy savings: MITECO proposes new auctions
The proposal complements Spain’s Energy Savings Certificate scheme. Consultation ended on 23 September. It does not create an automatic subsidy for every home renovation.
What was announced
On 2 September, MITECO presented proposed energy-saving auctions to complement the Energy Saving Certificate system, known as CAE. The proposal involves amending Royal Decree 36/2023 and expanding the tools used to encourage efficiency improvements.
The consultation ended on 23 September. This publication describes a regulatory proposal, not an automatic grant for every renovation. Eligible recipients, measures and specific mechanisms must be checked against the rules ultimately applicable.
For a home, replacing equipment or improving insulation requires an assessment of the energy savings that can be substantiated. Lower consumption alone does not establish that work produces a CAE or has approved funding. Project costs and possible financial support should therefore be assessed separately.
What it means for your home
Distinguish a proposal from an effective rule and review the official text before changing a contract or installation.
