Applications for SOLENERGE reopen from today until February 28
Applications for the SOLENERGE programme are now open for the installation of solar photovoltaic systems for self-consumption from today until February 28. This announcement reopens the submission of new incentive applications under this important tool, which aims to support the energy transition in the Azores. Created under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), SOLENERGE has an overall budget of €60 million, targeting 38.2 MW of installed capacity in the Autonomous Region of the Azores. As of today, the programme has an estimated approved incentive amounting to €45 million. As such, reopening applications is necessary to ensure compliance with the targets set and agreed with the European Commission. The roles of beneficiaries and installers in ensuring the speed and efficiency of the program's implementation are emphasised, aiming to achieve the overall target of 38.2 MW. This will strengthen SOLENERGE as an essential tool for promoting renewable energy and reducing the region's energy dependence. SOLENERGE is part of Investment C14-i03-RAA – Energy Transition in the Azores, as part of the RRP, and covers 100% of eligible expenses for the purchase and installation of photovoltaic systems, up to a limit of €1,500 per kilowatt of installed capacity. The programme is aimed at citizens and collective entities, except the regional and central administrations. Applications must be submitted at https://solenerge.azores.gov.pt.

Azores strengthen commitment to energy transition through new European project
The Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructures, through the Regional Directorate for Energy, is a partner in the new European project NESOI Plus – New Energy Solutions Optimised for Island Outermost Regions, which will be an important tool for accelerating the energy transition in the Azores. Focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities of island territories, the project aims to support the Outermost Regions in overcoming the challenges associated with geographical isolation, strengthening their leadership in more sustainable, resilient and inclusive energy solutions. One of the main goals of NESOI Plus is to support the creation and development of renewable energy communities, empowering local entities to play an active role in modernising the energy sector. NESOI Plus is co-financed under the LIFE programme through the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). It has an overall budget of about €1.7 million and will run until August 2028. The Autonomous Region of the Azores will receive around €117,000 to develop the actions planned under this initiative. The project brings together a diverse consortium of European entities from Italy, Belgium, Spain, Greece, France, and Portugal, which will provide technical expertise and support for policy development and capacity-building activities, contributing to accelerating energy progress in the Outermost Regions of the European Union.
