Solar panels on private properties will be eligible for a slice of €6 million in EU funding that has been given to Albania's Union Bank to finance energy efficiency measures in the Balkan nation.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has made the money available for the western Balkan branch of its Green Energy Financing Facility (GEFF) energy efficiency program.
A statement announcing the funding facility, published yesterday, listed solar panels as eligible for support, along with insulation, efficient boilers and “other green technologies”.
