Operation of the digital one stop shop for building energy upgrades

The Energy Service of the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry has launched a new Digital One Stop Shop for the Energy Upgrade of Buildings. This platform serves as the central source of information and guidance for owners, managers, and interested parties seeking to improve building energy efficiency.

The platform was developed in accordance with Directive (EU) 2024/1275 on the Energy Performance of Buildings, which mandates the creation of One Stop Shops to provide technical, administrative, and informational support for energy upgrades.

This initiative aims to enhance citizen convenience by providing a single online platform with gathered information, tools, and personalized guidance for all stages of energy renovation, from planning to implementation. It supports the acceleration of energy renovations, reduction of energy consumption and costs, and the achievement of national and European energy and climate targets.

Through the platform, building owners and managers can access:

• Reliable information on building energy upgrades
• Available financial tools and grants
• Technical guidance for intervention implementation
• Information on vulnerable consumers and energy poverty
• Options to develop indicative energy upgrade programs

The Digital One Stop Shop facilitates access to information and financing, reduces administrative barriers, and promotes transition to a highly energy-efficient, low-carbon building stock.
