Safe Flue Gas Removal Proposals Expected From Today2011. december 5.
Today the Ministry of National Development announced a call for proposals in the total amount of 700 million forints for supporting the renovation of single-channel collector chimneys within the New Széchenyi Plan. The purpose of the call is to upgrade the safety technology of single-channel collector chimneys which remove flue gases of heating and water heating equipment in apartment buildings.
Condominiums and housing co-operatives may submit proposals for upgrading the collector chimneys of their buildings, and local governments may do so in respect of their own tenements from December 5, 2011. Support may be requested for modernising the collector chimneys of apartment buildings and the related chimney sections of all residential units. The improvements will result in the safe removal of flue gases produced by heating equipment and in the prevention of flue gas reflux, which endangers life.
The tender fund will cover up to 40 percent of the overall project value, but individual apartments will be eligible for a maximum of 150 thousand forints. Proposals may be submitted in one or two rounds, depending on the local government’s decision to support the particular project.
Support granted will be a non-refundable ex post subsidy in each case. Applications may only be submitted electronically from December 5, 2011 till June 30, 2012 or until the budget is used up, on the tender website at http://uszt-gyujtokemeny.hu. For detailed information visit the government’s portal at http://www.kormany.hu/hu/nemzeti-fejlesztesi-miniszterium and the website of ÉMI Nonprofit Kft. at www.emi.hu/gyujtokemeny.
