Roof Insulation Subsidies Across Europe

Roof insulation is the single most impactful energy renovation for most European homes — a poorly insulated roof can account for 25-30% of heat loss. Every EU country in our coverage subsidizes it, but amounts vary dramatically. A modest-income French household can receive 75 EUR/m2 (MaPrimeRenov) + 12 EUR/m2 (CEE) for attic insulation. In Germany, BEG EM covers 15-20% of costs. Italy's Ecobonus provides a 65% tax credit.
