Overview
Malta’s Irrinova Darek scheme is a five-year programme designed to accelerate energy-saving upgrades in the country’s building stock while easing the financial burden on low-to-moderate income households. Administered by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), the scheme dovetails with both EU and national climate targets by subsidising measures that cut household energy use, improve comfort, and curb emissions.
What you'll get
The scheme promotes energy-efficient renovations in residential properties. It builds on the 2022 pilot and supports national and EU energy performance targets, especially for low- to medium-income households.
