The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved a state-targeted economic program to support the thermomodernization of buildings, which will be in effect until 2030. Its main goal is to enhance the energy efficiency of the country’s housing stock and promote a reduction in energy resource consumption in apartment buildings.

Key Tasks of the Thermomodernization Program
- Improving the energy efficiency of buildings, especially apartment buildings.
- Developing and implementing financial support mechanisms for homeowners, homeowners’ associations (OSBB), and local communities.
- Stimulating the production of modern materials and technologies for insulation.
- Creating favorable conditions for attracting investments, including international ones, and credit resources.
- Developing professional training for specialists in the field of energy efficiency.
Expected Results and Impact on the Housing Sector
According to the Ministry of Community Development, over 80% of residential buildings in Ukraine lack proper insulation. At the same time, the average energy consumption level in such buildings exceeds similar indicators in European Union countries by 2-3 times.
The Ministry of Community Development noted that over 80% of residential buildings in Ukraine lack proper insulation, and the average energy consumption level is 100-200% higher than in EU countries.
The program provides for gradual support for thermomodernization measures—from the installation of individual heating points to complete insulation of buildings. It is expected that the implementation of the initiative will reduce energy consumption in the housing sector by at least 30%. In addition, the program will lead to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, lower household expenses on utilities, and enhance Ukraine’s energy independence.
