The Environmental Fund Administration (AFM) released a new list on Wednesday, featuring 10,418 applications approved under the Green Photovoltaic Homes Program.

In the coming period, the remaining applications from the 2024 session of the same programme will also be approved.

“Therefore, AFM aims to implement programmes that allow Romanians to purchase systems that will transform homes into increasingly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly households,” said Florin Bănică, AFM President.

The funding provided under the program amounts to a maximum of RON 30,000 (€6,000) for the purchase and installation of a photovoltaic panel system and a storage facility.
