Any company or entity that carries out its activity within a CNAE included in one of the following groups may receive these aids: G, H, I, J, K, LM, N, O, P, Q, R or S. No Public administrations may be beneficiaries, except the institutional public sector of any Public Administrations referred to in article 2.2 of Law 40/2015 of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector, nor energy service companies.

These aids are financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER), through the FEDER Operational Program of the Valencian Community 2021-2027, within political objective 2 "A greener, low-carbon Europe in transition towards a zero-carbon economy net carbon emissions and resilient”, and within the framework of specific objective 2.1. "Promotion of energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions", provided that the different actions comply with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2021/1058 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of June 24, 2021, relating to the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund; to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of June 24, 2021, which establishes the common provisions relating to the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Fund Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and other development regulations.

SUPPORTABLE ACTIONS

The actions that may be eligible for aid will be those that produce energy savings and quantifiable CO2 emissions, and that are documented. Likewise, they must comply with the current legislation that affects them for the calculation and development of energy efficiency measures. If there are no applicable regulations or legislation, the Best Available Technology (MTD) will be used.

The minimum economic-energy ratio will be 150 toe/M€ (annual primary energy savings/eligible investment).

ELIGIBLE COSTS

Eligible costs are the additional investment costs necessary to achieve a higher level of energy efficiency. Said additional investment costs will be calculated as the difference between the eligible investment of the project, defined according to the following paragraph, and the investment of an equivalent conventional installation that would imply less energy efficiency and that could have been carried out credibly without the aid.

Eligible investment of the project will be considered:

• Investments in auxiliary equipment and facilities (pipes, power lines, valves, connections, etc.) directly associated with the energy saving project.
• The investments necessary for the assembly and start-up of the auxiliary equipment and facilities indicated in the previous section.
• The elaboration of the technical projects related to the actions and the costs of facultative management.
• The costs of execution of the civil works strictly necessary for the realization of the project.
• Transportation costs.
• The costs of technical assistance and all those necessary as established by current regulations that prove to be directly linked to the execution of the project, as well as the necessary costs for the legalization of the facilities and obtaining the licenses required in the different phases of the project, both professional associations and the different affected administrations

Only projects whose eligible investment exceeds 10,000 euros will be considered.
