Lithuania Launches €286.9 Million Apartment Renovation Programme

Lithuania has launched a €286.93 million funding programme to renovate older apartment buildings, with higher subsidies available to financially vulnerable households.

Administered by the Environmental Projects Management Agency (APVA), the programme covers apartment buildings constructed under technical standards in force before 1993. Up to €133 million will come from the EU Social Climate Fund, with the remainder provided through national funding sources.

The new model offers support covering approximately 50–80% of eligible energy-efficiency costs for vulnerable households. Other households can receive support of 15–40%, depending on the municipality and renovation measures. Eligibility for the higher subsidies is linked to entitlement to heating-cost compensation.

To qualify, renovated buildings must achieve at least energy performance class B and reduce calculated heating energy consumption by 40% or more.

Project administrators can prepare investment plans from 11 November, while applications open on 23 November 2026. The programme is scheduled to run until 3 April 2028.

The funding could provide a significant source of work for Lithuania’s renovation and energy-efficiency industries, depending on how many projects proceed.
