CASTILLA-LA MANCHA Call for Applications: Grants for investment in electricity and thermal energy generation facilities using renewable energy sources (IDAE)
Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving – IDAE
IMPULSO is pleased to inform you that the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, through the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE), will allocate 316 million euros to promote renewable energy facilities for both thermal and electrical production throughout the national territory.
This grant program is implemented through calls for applications issued by the IDAE in each autonomous community, and is currently open in CASTILLA-LA MANCHA. Its purpose is the awarding, on a competitive basis, of grants for investment projects in electricity generation facilities using renewable energy sources (ELECTRICITY) or in thermal energy production facilities using renewable energy sources and their management improvement and production optimization equipment (THERMAL ENERGY).
Below is a summary of the main characteristics of these grants:
BENEFICIARIES
Natural or legal persons, public or private (including energy service companies in the case of THERMAL ENERGY).
PROJECT TYPES
- ELECTRICAL ENERGY: investment projects in facilities for generating electrical energy from renewable sources, which may include investment actions that improve management and optimize production, allowing for self-consumption and the incorporation of energy into local markets, included in the following types of facilities:
| Energy Source | Type of Action | Installed Power Limit |
| Solar photovoltaic* | Self-consumption WITHOUT storage (for public buildings) | 50 kW ≤ P < 1 MW |
| Self-consumption WITH storage | 100 kW ≤ P ≤ 10 MW |
*modifications to existing facilities are permitted provided they have reached the end of their regulatory useful life
- THERMAL ENERGY: investment projects in thermal energy production facilities using renewable energy sources, included in the following types of actions linked to renewable energies:
| Energy Source | Type of Action | Lower Nominal Power Limit (kW) |
| Aerothermal | Aerothermal + PV services and industry | ≥ 200 |
| Biomass | BM single building | ≥ 400 |
| BM heating network (generation, distribution, and connection) | ≥ 400 | |
| BM low-power industrial application boilers | 500 ≤ P ≤ 5000 | |
| Geothermal or hydrothermal | GT or HT services or industry | ≥ 100 |
| Solar Thermal | WITHOUT concentration | 25 ≤ P ≤ 100 |
| WITHOUT concentration | 100 ≤ P | |
| WITH concentration | 1000 ≤ P |
ELIGIBLE COSTS
- ELECTRICITY: Preparation of the execution project, construction management, health and safety coordination, main generation equipment, civil works, foundations, unloading and storage systems, electrical and control systems, hydraulics, pumping, instrumentation, measurement, auxiliaries, monitoring, transport and assembly, commissioning, etc.
- THERMAL ENERGY: Preparation of the execution project, thermal response tests, pumping tests, construction management, health and safety coordination, main generation equipment, accumulation systems, civil works, foundations, unloading and storage systems, heat/cold distribution systems to consumption points, electrical and control systems, hydraulics, pumping, instrumentation, measurement, auxiliaries, monitoring, transport and assembly, commissioning, etc.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
- Project duration: facilities must be fully completed before June 30, 2023.
- Incentive effect.
TYPE AND INTENSITY OF SUPPORT
Non-repayable grant that IDAE may advance to the beneficiary.
The amount of the granted aid will be quantified in the resolution of the procedure in terms of unit amount and total amount.
The intensity of the grant will be calculated based on the eligible budget justified by the applicant, the actual installed nominal power, and a minimum unit contribution to be established according to the type of action.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE
The deadline for submitting applications is until 12:00 PM on November 30, 2020.
BUDGET ALLOCATION:
ELECTRICITY: €2,733,542.
THERMAL ENERGY: €5,400,000.
