Ecobonus, 39 billion investments in 7 years

The eco-bonuses have been an effective and well-used tool by the Italians: the assessment of 12 years of eco-bonus, presented by Enea in the eighth annual report on energy efficiency, is in fact extremely flattering. 39 billion have been invested since 2007 and 3,3 billion in 2018, with a cumulative saving of around 100 million megawatt hours (MWh). Now, he stressed the president of ENEA Federico Testa, the real leap in quality will be that of the condominiums who have the possibility of using the eco-bonus with the transfer of credit.

"The growing number of large and small players, from Eni to Enel to Snam to utilities, which offer services focused on the use of the condominium eco-bonus, demonstrates the validity of our intuition of two years ago which Parliament was then able to implement", Testa said.

In 2018, three quarters of the ecobonus applications for interventions in the common areas of condominiums concerned the energy requalification of the building envelope (70% deduction) and about a quarter the improvement of winter and summer energy performance (75% deduction). %). The first interventions have also been launched to increase seismic safety which provide for deductions of 80% or 85% depending on the reduction in the risk class.

Returning to the Enea Report and the tax deductions for energy efficiency measures, the eco-bonus allowed total savings of 16 million MWh, equal to the average annual consumption of electrical and thermal energy of households in a city of 2,5 million inhabitants. Very positive results are also found for other types of incentives: again in 2018, the thermal account, mainly intended for initiatives for efficiency and renewables in the PA, recorded a leap forward of 115% with 93 thousand total requests and a 90% increase in the incentives obtained to 190 million euros
