Maximum grant limit for housing cooperatives and condominium associations

Housing cooperatives (borettslag) and condominium associations (sameier) may receive a maximum of EUR 300,000 in grant commitments from the Climate and Energy Fund over a three-year period (calculated from date to date).

The grant commitment is awarded in accordance with the limits for de minimis aid. The de minimis rules mean that an recipient may not receive more than EUR 300,000 in total aid over a three-year period. The aid recipient is responsible for checking whether the housing cooperative has received other de minimis aid and for providing correct information about previously received aid. If the aid exceeds the maximum limit, it may be required to be repaid.

By accepting the aid, the applicant confirms that the guidelines have been understood and complied with. The maximum limit applies regardless of whether the aid recipient is considered an undertaking or not, cf. Article 61 of the EEA Agreement.
