What it is

In its details of the 2026 Thessaloniki Fair measures (7/9/2026) the government announced two programmes:

  • a new programme to buy heat pumps and solar water heaters for 100,000 beneficiaries, with €200 million from the national Public Investment Programme, to run during 2027;
  • a new heating-replacement programme, with €930 million from the Social Climate Fund, to buy and install a heat pump and a solar water heater.

Greece's Social Climate Plan, endorsed by the European Commission on 27/8/2026, provides, alongside the new Exoikonomo, heat pumps in 130,000 homes and solar water heaters in 70,000 homes of energy-vulnerable households. The call is planned for the second quarter of 2027.

Who will qualify, the amounts per household and the platform will be set by a ministerial decision and a guide, which have not been issued. This page will be updated then.
