The OEB has issued guidance to businesses and organisations on the AHK+ grant scheme, which aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce electricity costs.

The programme focuses on two main tracks: LED lighting replacement for businesses and organisations, and replacement of old air-conditioning units in vulnerable households with high-efficiency models.

For lighting, grants are set at €30 per 60x60cm LED panel and €20 per 17cm round LED fixture. For air conditioners, support ranges from €170 to €470 per unit depending on capacity, with mandatory recycling of old units.

The total budget is €5.5 million. The scheme remains open until 30 September 2028 or until available funds are exhausted.

Applications are submitted exclusively online through ahkplus.org.cy, where the full guide with eligibility criteria and participation terms is available.
