A Coruña Awards €3.54M in EU Rehab Grants as Vigo Redirects €2.7M to Coia

Funding is tied to asbestos removal priorities under rules that mandate 30% energy savings with completion due June 30, 2026.

Overview

  • A provincial bulletin formalized €3,536,777.87 in Next Generation subsidies for seven neighbourhood projects in A Coruña, prioritizing removal of asbestos and energy upgrades.
  • The largest grant, nearly €2.14 million, goes to Barrio de las Flores blocks 45–46 for thermal envelope renewal and asbestos abatement on a project exceeding €4.3 million.
  • Additional A Coruña beneficiaries include Sinagoga 11 (Ciudad Vieja), Juana de Vega 6, three Grupo María Pita blocks in Labañou, and Antonio Pedreira Ríos 1 in O Ventorrillo for façade insulation, roof renewal, accessibility and toxic-material removal.
  • Vigo will reallocate €2.7 million of unused funds from 11 of its 12 programme areas to Coia after applications there exceeded the initial allocation, Mayor Abel Caballero said.
  • Vigo’s rules require at least a 30% cut in energy consumption, offer a minimum 40% subsidy to owners, direct 85% of funds to housing with €252,000 for shared public spaces, set a June 30, 2026 finish, and exclude licenses and taxes from eligible costs.
