Modernisation fund

November 2022

On 11 October 2022, the European Investment Bank confirmed the state aid scheme for decarbonisation of industry (SA.102388) as a priority investment. Funds from the MoF will be paid by the EIB to the Slovak Republic for this priority investment as follows:
- 350 million EUR in the first disbursement to the State aid scheme SA.102388 which is aimed at supporting decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures in industrial facilities that do not prolong the use of solid fossil fuels, which will lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the gradual phasing out of fossil fuels, better energy efficiency, as well as a just transition in carbon-dependent regions.

The intention of the scheme is to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by supporting industrial decarbonisation projects that will lead to primary energy savings, a reduction in final energy consumption and introduce the use of advanced environmental technologies in industrial production, thus directly supporting the achievement of national, European as well as global climate goals according to the Paris Agreement. Text of the scheme.

 

The Environmental Fund published a call for the heating industry prepared under the State aid scheme from the Modernization Fund to support investments in the modernization of energy systems, including energy storage and energy efficiency improvement, on its website on July 27 2022.

- 149,5 million EUR in the first disburstment to the State aid scheme for district heating (SA.63411). The scheme aims at improving of energy efficiency, modernizing of energy systems, including district heating or district heating (DH), energy storage and smart grid solutions heat, to increase the share of electricity and heat produced by high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) plants. The indicative amount of expenditure planned under this scheme for the period 2021-2030 is EUR 1 billion. EUR. The Granting Authority is the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic and the Implementing Authority is the Environmental Fund. The scheme text (PDF, 1 MB).
- 20 EUR million in the first disburstment to the State Aid Scheme to support the production of electricity from renewable energy sources to support investments in facilities for the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES) in order to increase the share of RES in gross final energy consumption in Slovakia. The Granting Authority is the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic and the Implementing Authority is the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic. The estimated average annual volume of funds from the Modernisation Fund for the implementation of this scheme is 40 mil. EUR.

Investment strategy
In April 2021, the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic began preparing the document "Investment Strategy for the Modernisation Fund - Low Carbon Support Mechanism for the Period 2021 - 2030", which aims to set a transparent way of using MoF funds in the Slovak Republic, determine investment areas during the period 2021-2030 and to ensure a uniform procedure of selecting investments to be supported.

Investment plans of the Slovak Republic
Other investment areas that the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic plans to support in the coming years from MoF funds through state aid schemes or as individual projects are:
