  • The administrator of the building
  • The owner of the building
  • Professionals or industrialists from the energy sector

• The financial aid is intended for dwellings classified as permanent habitual residences and for apartment buildings where 70% of the building's surface area – excluding the ground floor – is allocated for habitual dwellings.
• If the above-mentioned percentage is not reached, only flats used as habitual, permanent residences will qualify for subsidies, and they can apply for the proportional part of the subsidy according to surface area.
• If the dwellings are empty, the financial help will only be awarded where the owner makes a commitment to include the property in the Barcelona Social Housing Pool, once it has been renovated.

These subsidies are not available for dwellings used as tourist flats or multi-unit properties.

Find out about the grants and subsidies you can apply for according to your energy-renovation or generation-system installation project, and your location in the city. At Energy Assessment Points there are specialist staff at your disposal who will answer any questions you may have and advise you on the application process for grants and subsidies for energy renovation or installing systems for generating your own energy.

Here you will find all the information on grants and subsidies for renovations from the Barcelona Housing Consortium: GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES

Grants and subsidies apply to the entire city. Even so, there are specific urban areas and neighbourhoods which require special attention, owing to their features, and which therefore have specific or higher grants and subsidies.
