EIOP specific objectives, priorities 1.Protection and improvement of the environment that will improve the quality and coverage of environmental services and utilities, nature conservation and energy initiatives.  Environmental protection priority 2. I mprovement of the transport network through investments in upgrading the national transport infrastructure  Transport priority

3. EIOP in numbers Total budget :111 billion HUF/435 million EUR Share of Environment priority: 42.3 billion HUF/ 166 million EUR Energy measure: 5.03 billion HUF/ 20 million EUR Share of Transport priority: 64.2 billion HUF/252 million EUR Share of Technical Assistance: 4.5 billion HUF/ 17 million EUR

4. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT Objectives: 1.Increase the use of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. (final goal: 3.6% by 2010) The promoted use of renewable energy sources will help to develop the existing network, achieve a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and encourage economic development in rural areas. 2.Increase of conscious and rational energy use and decrease of emissions causing air pollution. Components: 1. Increasing the use of the renewable energy resources - 60% 2. Increasing energy efficiency - 40%

5. Supported activities: Increasing the use of renewable energy resources: 1. Establishment of capacities aimed at the supply and transformation of fuels required for the operation of equipment producing renewable energy; (wood waste system, pellet system, baling equipment, plant oil pressers, etc.) 2. Facilitating investments based on use of a significant capacity from renewable energy sources with the participation of local inhabitants and/or actors of the market (biomass, geothermal, solar, wind, and low-performance hydroelectric power plants); 3.Public investments; establishing circular biomass or geothermal district heating systems in small settlements; utilisation of depony gas.

6. Supported activities: Increasing energy efficiency : 1. Energy efficiency developments of the local authorities; modernisation of the energetics of buildings, institutions, modernisation of district-heating supply, cogeneration (CHP). 2. Energy efficiency developments of small and medium sized enterprises; modernisation of the energetics of buildings, co-generation, modernisation of technology, utilising heat from landfill wastes, in case of district heating manufacturers and services modernisation of district heating systems.

7. Beneficiaries Central budgetary entities and their institutions; local governments and their institutions; public benefit companies; business companies with majority municipality ownership; business companies with majority state ownership; foundations,associations, sport clubs, churches, alliances, fellowships, unions; small and medium enterprises. From the above mentioned beneficiaries formed consortiums

8. Aid rates and project size Aid rates depend on: 1. type of activity energy efficiency, max. 40 %, but max.300 million HUF renewable energy projects max.60%, for non-electricity projects max. 300 million HUF 2. type of beneficiary for SME’s between 16-40 % for municipalities, non profit organisations 18-60% Minimum project size : 125 million HUF

9. Commitments Budget for energy: 5.03 billion HUF/ 20 million EUR Committed: 3.45 billion HUF/13,5 million EUR Energy efficiency: 1.87 billion HUF/ 7,3 million EUR Renewable energy: 1.58 billion HUF/ 6,2 million EUR Free: 1.58 billion HUF/ 6,2 million EUR Number of supported projects: 26 Number of supported SME’s: 15
