Canton Uri provides 3 million energy-saving renovations

Altdorf, December 2020

The canton of Uri will provide around 3 million francs for energy-efficient renovations in the coming year. The focus is on the renovation of building envelopes. The canton is also launching an additional advisory service in this area.

The canton of Uri has adopted its Energy Uri 2021 funding program. In the coming year he wants to make a total of 3.1 million francs available for energy-efficient renovations. This means that the funds available are roughly as high as in the current record year 2020.

The focus of the support program is the renovation of building envelopes, as the canton explains in a press release. These make a major contribution to ensuring that the federal and cantonal energy and climate targets can be achieved. With a subsidy rate of 60 francs per square meter, a high incentive will continue to be set for the renovation of the building envelope, it is said. The canton also offers advice in this area. In addition to the non-binding initial consultation at the Uri Energy Office, more detailed advice is now being launched.

In addition to the renovation of buildings, the program also supports the replacement of old oil heating systems or solar energy.
