MURCIA Call for Applications: Grants for investment in electrical and thermal energy generation facilities using renewable energy sources (IDAE)
Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving – IDAE
At IMPULSO, we are 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 installations for both thermal and electrical energy 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 MURCIA. Its purpose is the awarding, on a competitive basis, of grants for investment projects in electrical energy generation facilities using renewable energy sources (ELECTRICAL ENERGY) or in thermal energy production facilities using renewable energy sources and their production management and optimization equipment (THERMAL ENERGY).
Below, we summarize 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 |
| Renewable gases / Biogas | Agro-industrial or industrial biogas (biogas generation and electrical utilization) | Regardless of power capacity |
| Agro-industrial or industrial biogas (electrical utilization only) | ||
| Biomass | BM (100% biological origin fuels) | Regardless of power capacity |
| BM (100% biological origin fuels) in the public sector | ||
| Wind | Small-scale installations | Unit power wind turbines: 10 < P ≤ 100 kW |
| Very small-scale installations | Unit power wind turbines P ≤ 10 kW | |
| Photovoltaic | Small-scale PV grid sales WITH storage | 100 kW ≤ P ≤ 1 MW |
| Micro PV self-consumption WITH storage | 10 kW ≤ P ≤ 100 kW | |
| Small-scale PV grid sale WITHOUT storage | 100 kW ≤ P < 1 MW | |
| Micro PV self-consumption WITHOUT storage | 10 kW ≤ P < 100 kW | |
| Micro PV self-consumption WITHOUT storage in the public sector | 10 kW ≤ P ≤ 100 kW |
*modifications to existing facilities are permitted provided they have completed their regulatory useful life
- THERMAL ENERGY: investment projects in thermal energy production facilities using renewable energy sources and in renewable gas production facilities, included in the following types of actions linked to renewable energies:
| Energy Source | Type of Action | Lower Nominal Power Limit (kW) |
| Aerothermal | Aerothermal with PV in public sector buildings | ≥ 200 |
| Aerothermal with PV in service and industrial sectors | ≥ 200 | |
| Biomass | BM single public sector building | ≥ 400 |
| Solar Thermal | WITHOUT concentration | 25 ≤ P < 100 |
| WITHOUT concentration in the public sector | 25 ≤ P < 100 | |
| WITH concentration in the public sector | 25 ≤ P < 5000 |

TYPE AND INTENSITY OF AID
Non-repayable grant which the IDAE may provide to the beneficiary as an advance payment.
The amount of the grant awarded will be quantified in the resolution of the procedure in terms of unit amount and total amount.
The intensity of the aid will be calculated based on the eligible budget justified by the applicant, the actual installed power, as well as a minimum unit contribution to be established based on the type of action.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE
The deadline for submitting applications is until 12:00 PM on November 23, 2020.
BUDGET ALLOCATION:
ELECTRICAL ENERGY: €2,936,204.
THERMAL ENERGY: €820,000.
