(This document was updated in December
2007, November 8, 2006)
The
Environmental Protection and Infrastructure
Operational Programme
(EIOP: in Hungarian KIOP) is one
of the five comprehensive programs
of the Hungarian National Development
Plan (NDP in Hungarian NFT) for the
EU programming period of 2004-2006.
Head
of the Managing Authority is the
Ministry of Economy
and Transport
(MoET/GKM), in co-operation with
the Ministry of Environment and Water
(MoEW). The implementation of the
programme is the responsibility of
the EIOP/KIOP Managing Authority
(EIMA). The EIMA delegates some
of its tasks
to Intermediate Bodies. The issue
of energy is delegated to the Energy
Centre Public Benefit Company (Energia
Központ Kht.)
The
EIOP/KIOP’s
total budget for the 2004-2006
program period
is 440.3 Million EUR (112.3 Mrd
HUF), which corresponds to the 13,3%
of the financial sources of the NDP/NFT.
Of this, 327.2 Million EUR is
community support, more than 113
Million EUR
comes from the national budget. The
community sources are ensured from
the EU Structural Fund (SF): European
Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Energy
Part of KIOP/EIOP for the Industry
and Municipalities:
In
2004-06, the budget for the KIOP/EIOP's
"Environmentally Friendly Development
of Energy
Management"
budget line was about 23
Million EUR (6.1 Mrd HUF). This
was shared in two major program
line:
-
Increase of Public and Industrial
Energy Efficiency: 42 % for
23 projects
-
Utilization of Renewable Energy
Resources: 58% on 20 projects
From which:
-- Biogas: 33 % for 2 projects Go
to Bioenergy projects
-- Wind: 31% for 11 projects Go
to Windpower projects
-- Geothermal: 20 % for 4 projects Go
to Geothermal projects
-- Hydro: 9 % for 1 project Go
to Hydropower projects
-- Biomass: 7 % for 2 projects Go
to Bioenergy projects
The
43 KIOP/EIOP energy projects
can be seen in a Project-Table collected

More
information on KIOP/EIOP and Energy
projects on official sites:
-
KIOP project statistics can be
seen
at KIOP/EIOP, as
part of the GKM (Economic and
Transport Ministry). You can
search on an interactive page
for energy
projects.
(In
Hungarian. there is only an
overview document in English). According
to this statistics: the projects
can be divided to: 29 energy
projects (34.52%), 37 environment
projects (44.05%), and 18 transport
projects (21.43%)
- The winning energy applications of
KIOP/EIOP also can be seen at:
Energy
Centre's KIOP site (In Hungarian,
44 projects 2004-2005 updated in 2007)
- The National Development Agency
(NFU in Hungarian) had a link to
174 projects. This link was
moved to a
new page,
where
you can search for supported projects
according to theme and place. It
finds 42 projects when you search for
KIOP 1.7.0 Energy
and Environment under NFT (National
Development Plan 2004-06).
Support
Scheme for Private People
on Energy (NEP):
Amount: about 2 Mrd HUF (about
7.7 Million EUR)
Support
for Energy Conservation for
Private People (NEP-2006-1)
Budget expected: 1.2 Mrd HUF (about
4.7 Million EUR) (originally 800 Million
HUF to
2800 projects)
Support
for More Use of Renewable Energy
for Private People
(NEP-2006 -2) Solar
Thermal collectors for
heating
Budget expected: 800 Million
HUF (about 3 Million EUR)
(originally 183 Million HUF to 500
projects)
The
number of application in 2006 exceeded
all expectations.
It was
announced in March
2006 and after 2 weeks it has to
be closed
because
of the big interest.
There were 7,500 applications,
and about 6,600
receives funding. The
funds are distributed continuously
still
at the end of 2006.
This was the result that
in 2005 there were
no funding announced,
and in 2004 the NEP
2004 budget was 200 Million
HUF. There is no
online information
about who got funding in 2004.
The
support was limited to 30 % of
the investment. The amount was
limited to maximum 300-600,000 HUF
depending on the aim. In case of
only a solar
collector the maximum
was 300,000 HUF (1200 EUR).

winners can be seen at the following

In
2004-2006, the Technical Assistance budget
line of KIOP was about 2.4 Mrd HUF.
From this about 12 % was received
by the Energy Center (292
Million HUF).
