JESSICA IN LITHUANIA: An Effort to Renovate Apartment Blocks Inesis Kiškis Lithuanian Ministry of Environment BUDAPEST, NOVEMBER 6, 2013

Facts about Lithuanian Housing (I) population ~ 3,00 million more than 38,000 apartment blocks more than 800,000 apartments 66 % of population lives in multi family buildings built before 1993

Facts about Lithuanian Housing (II) most in poor condition, lack of proper management inefficient heating systems and engineering equipment, poor quality windows, roofs, seals between panels more than 57 % of households are not satisfied with their houses during privatization, only apartments were privatized, but not the buildings as such 97% private, only 3 % municipal rental stock

Energy supply pattern 65 % of multifamily buildings are served by district heating systems Current energy consumption ~ 160 kWh/m 2

Why JESSICA? Attempts to launch modernisation of apartment blocks in early 90’s were rejected; World Bank Project in Subsidised renovation program launched in 2006 Program ran out of money in late 2007 Decision to launch a “win-win” scheme using JESSICA in early 2009

JESSICA Holding Fund Committed: € 227 million: - € 127 million European Regional Development Fund - € 100 million National co-financing Actual Contribution to date: €149,4 million - € 127 million European Regional Development Fund - €22,4 million National co-financing

Main Features Borrower: House-owner association Fixed interest rate at 3% Maturity up to 20 years 2 years grace period (during construction) No collateral 15% written-off if 20 % savings attained and energy efficiency Class D achieved (upon completion) Extra 25% written-off if savings reach 40% (limited duration – until end of 2014) 100% of costs to prepare renovation documentation reimbursed (paid from national funds) 100% of reimbursement of installments to low income families

Eligible costs Costs contributing to increase of energy efficiency: – Replacement of windows – Replacement of doors – Insulation of ceilings/roofs – Insulation of walls – Installation of solar panels/wind mills – Replacement of energy related equipment – Replacement of elevators and electrical wiring in shared areas (stair wells, basements)…

Big Disappointment: The Program didn’t fly… Chronic distrust of population in Government Failed public relations program Apartment owners poorly organized Large share of owners on fixed income Many low income people were eligible for heating bill compensations, and had no incentive to join the program

Corrective Measures Municipalities instructed to draw lists of the worst- performing buildings; Municipalities appoint renovation administrators Administrators borrow on behalf and in favor of apartment owners Loan remains off the balance of Administrator 50% +1 of apartment owners have to agree to join the program Gradual phase-out of heating bill compensations

Some additional figures Number of eligible apartment blocks – Estimated cost to renovate one apartment block (60 m 2 ) 200,000 Euro After the modernization, one house would roughly halve energy consumption and save 125 MWh a year

Achievements to Date Despite the slow start, it looks we are running out of money Bridging mechanism between two financing periods needed Ideas for the new period: – Commercial banks finance projects – JESSICA legacy fund to guarantee the loans – Owners of renovated houses are eligible to 20% subsidy, subject to certain conditions

EIB Involvement Selected without any procurement procedure Contract negotiations pretty fast and smooth EIB does a lot of analytical and technical work Authorities hardly would have had enough human resources to accomplish all tasks – Review of the relevant legal acts: EU and national – Identification of the stumbling blocks – Prepare selection criteria for selection of Urban Development Funds (UDFs) – Selection of UDFs – Negotiation and signing agreements with UDFs

The Challenges Number of challenges encountered during negotiations with UDFs – Possible state aid issues – need to identify and register – Legality of personal data handling – Turning the apartment owners into borrowers (possibly) against their will, and as a consequence: – Questioning the constitutionality of entire scheme

It Shall Work Like This BeforeAfter Thank you!
