The municipality of Braga in Portugal launched the fourth edition of its Municipal Program to Combat Energy Poverty to help local families improve home comfort.
The local government and BragaHabit, a municipal housing company, will provide non-refundable grants of up to 2,500 euros per application. This funding helps residents perform practical home improvements, such as installing solar panels, adding thermal insulation to walls and ceilings, or replacing doors and windows with more efficient models.
The program targets owners and tenants in Braga who receive social tariffs for electricity or natural gas. Residents can submit their applications through the BragaHabit Digital Counter between 1 November and 31 December. This initiative follows previous editions of the program which provided over 1.2 million euros in cumulative investment to 488 families.
