residents actively submit applications and plan
The leading of the submitted applications is Vilnius. Next are Kaunas city, Kaunas city district, Telšiai, Ukmergė, Jonava, Birštonas and Klaipėda districts.
Activity is also noticeable during the preparation phase of investment plans – they are currently being held in 537 apartment buildings across the country. Most of them are in Vilnius and Kaunas region.
« With the entry into force of its amendments, apartment buildings in cultural heritage areas are already involved. Although they are subject to specific requirements for the preservation of windows, facades or roofs, increased fixed rates allow for more efficient use of state support, » said Gintare Burbiene, Director of the Modernization Department of the Environmental Project Management Agency (APVA).
Sustainability is an increasingly relevant priority
Residents are increasingly interested in environmentally friendly solutions – most of the submitted applications provide for the implementation of renewable energy measures. These include solar power plants, collectors and heat pumps.
The invitation also offers to use an innovative method of panel renovation, allowing the work to be done at any time of the year, which significantly reduces the duration of the process. In addition, shields are made of materials containing at least 15 %. renewable organic resources.
« State support can be provided not only for the renovation of heat systems or facades, but also for expanding balconies, installing hiding places, bicycle storage or electric car charging stations, » said G. Burbienė. The total amount allocated for this program is $ 165 million. It was allocated by the European Investment Bank from the Modernization Fund.
The number of renovated apartment buildings increased by about 30 percent.
It is important to mention that 2025 In the first quarter, 90 apartment renovations were completed and 96 from the beginning of the year. This is a significant leap compared to the same period last year, when 62 projects were completed. The leader of the renovation remains Vilnius, renovating eleven houses, Kaunas and Jonava renovated nine, Mažeikiai – five, Elektrėnai – four, and Klaipėda, Palanga and Šiauliai – three each.
According to Aušros Bartkevičienė, Head of the Apva Apartment House Modernization Project Division, the faster pace is determined by the consistent improvement of processes – from applications to administration to procurement assessment. The activity of administrators and the fact that some of the projects unfinished for objective reasons are being completed this year.
