EU-subsidy update!
On 11th of January 2022 the EU-subsidy application period opened, and it ended on 31st of December 2023. We have presented during this period many applications for our clients of which some received a positive message and have been paid out already, but others are still waiting for the (first) update.
As this period ended a year ago and we receive a lot of emails and phone calls from clients, we would like to give a general update.
Due to lack of progress in realising funds from the EU by the Spanish government it unfortunately all takes longer than they previously had planned. According to the “Intervención General el Estado” (organises the budget execution of the State – State Audit Court) only 10.3% of the budgeted funds been recognized for payment, while the actual execution rate is only 3,5%.
The other problems which arise are excessive bureaucracy, lack of personnel, and IT platform failures.
Both the central government and regional governments are responsible for addressing the problems.
Due to these problems, it makes that the application process takes much more longer than they have anticipated and therefor some clients have not heard anything yet about their application.
We, as SolarNRG, can unfortunately not solve these problems, neither speed up this process. We can only follow each application of our clients and make sure that we will inform the clients personally if we have news about their application.
But till that moment we need to be extremely patient.
Unfortunately, we cannot respond to emails requesting a status update if we do not have any information.
Will there be a new subsidy pot available? There is talk of that, but we have not received any official messages about this yet. If it is official, we will announce this via our newsletter.
