E-LAR Programme: Government Bets on More Efficient Homes and Cheaper Energy
The E-LAR programme, presented by the Minister of Environment and Energy, supports up to 30,000 households in replacing gas appliances with efficient electric solutions.
In early August 2025, the Minister of Environment and Energy presented the E-LAR Programme, an initiative to accelerate decarbonisation of the residential sector and reduce household energy costs, focused on renewable self-consumption and building energy retrofits (replacing old equipment, improving thermal insulation).
